                                             (the "EMPLOYEE").


                  Prior to the date hereof, the Employee has been employed by
the Company. The Company and the Employee are entering into this Agreement to
set forth the terms of the Employee's continued employment with the Company.

hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.       EMPLOYMENT.

                  The Company shall employ the Employee, and the Employee
accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement.

2.       TERM.

                  The Employee's employment hereunder shall be for the period
(including any extensions thereof, the "EMPLOYMENT PERIOD") commencing on the
date of this Agreement (the "EFFECTIVE DATE") and terminating on the earlier of
(i) the 36-month anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) the early termination
pursuant to SECTION 5 of the Employee's employment hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
the Employment Period shall be extended automatically on each 12-month
anniversary of the Effective Date, beginning with the 36-month anniversary
thereof, in each case for an additional period of 12 months, unless the Company
or the Employee notifies the other party at least 30 days prior to any such
anniversary date of its or his election that the Employment Period not be so

the Company hereunder is referred to as the "TERMINATION DATE."

3.       POSITION, DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

          (a) During the Employment Period, the Employee shall serve as Senior
Vice President, Chief Marketing Office of the Company or in such other position
as shall be determined by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or President
of the Company from time to time.

          (b) During the Employment Period, the Employee will devote his full
time and best efforts to the business and affairs of the Company and its

in accordance with the limitations of SECTION 10. Except with the prior written
approval of the Board (excluding the Employee if he should be a member of the
Board at the time of such determination), which the Board may grant or withhold
in its sole and absolute discretion, the Employee, during the Employment Period,
will not serve on the board of directors or similar body of any business entity
other than the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (other than with respect to any
directorship held by the Employee on or prior to the Effective Date, all of
which, if any, have been disclosed in writing by the Employee to the Company).

4.       BASE SALARY, FRINGE BENEFITS AND OPTION.

          (a) During the Employment Period, the Employee's base salary shall be

Company regarding compensation of senior executives of the Company. During the
Employment Period, in addition to the Base Salary, the Employee shall be
entitled to receive an annual bonus (the "BONUS") as determined by the Board or
its designee (in its sole discretion). In making its determination of the Bonus,
the Board or its designee may rely on the quality and level of the Employee's
performance in excess of the high level of reasonably achievable performance
which the Company requires of all of its employees at substantially the same
employment level as the Employee and the overall profitability and operating
condition of the Company, taking into account to what extent the Company has
achieved its financial and operating targets as specified by the Board in its
annual budgeting process.

          (b) During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be eligible to
participate in all Company-sponsored employee benefit plans (the "EMPLOYEE

pension, disability, group life, sickness or accident or health insurance
policies, plans, programs or arrangements, if any, that are generally available
to other employees of the Company at substantially the same employment level as
the Employee for their participation, subject to the terms and conditions of
such plans, as they may be amended from time to time (collectively, the
"EMPLOYEE BENEFITS").

          (c) During the Employment Period, the Employee shall be entitled to
two weeks of vacation during each 12-month period worked, commencing on the
Effective Date. Such vacation shall be in accordance with the terms generally
applicable to other employees of the Company at substantially the same
employment level as the Employee, as in effect from time to time. The Employee
may take his vacation at such time or times as shall not interfere with the
performance of his duties under this Agreement. The Employee shall be entitled
to paid sick leave and holidays in accordance with the sick leave and holiday
policies as may be generally applicable to senior executives of the Company, as
in effect from time to time.

          (d) The Company shall reimburse the Employee for all reasonable travel
and other business expenses incurred by him in the course of performing his
duties under this Agreement in accordance with the Company's policies and rules
in effect from time to time relating to the reimbursement of such expenses.

payable to him hereunder such sums as may be required to be deducted or withheld
under the provisions of any federal, state or local law or regulation now in
effect or hereafter put into effect during the term of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, social security and income withholding taxes.

5.       EARLY TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

          (a) The early termination of the Employee's employment hereunder shall

Company, at any time, for Cause, without Cause or by reason of the Disability of
the Employee, (ii) the death of the Employee and (iii) the resignation of the
Employee from such employment, at any time, for Good Reason or without Good
Reason.

          (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "CAUSE" means (i) the
gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Employee in the performance of his
duties, (ii) the commission by the Employee of any act of fraud, theft or
financial dishonesty with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
if Employee is convicted of a felony, (iii) the material breach by the Employee
of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any breach or threatened
breach by the Employee of the provisions of SECTIONS 7, 8, 9 or 10), (iv) the
willful disregard, or failure to follow written instructions from, the
President, Chief Operating Officer of the Company, the Board or any of their
designees, to perform any legal act relating to the business of the Company or
its Subsidiaries which would be commensurate with the usual and customary
duties, responsibilities and authority of Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing
Officer of the Company or such other position held by the Employee as may be
determined by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or President of the
Company from time to time or otherwise consistent with such position, or (v) the
habitual failure of the Employee to perform his work in any material respect or
(vi) the repeated inexcusable absence from work of the Employee or the absence
of the Employee for a prolonged period of time (other than as a result of, or in
connection with, a disability or a legally protected leave). Before the
Employee's employment with the Company hereunder may be terminated by the
Company for Cause, the Employee shall have 10 days after written notice of such
basis for termination to cure such basis for termination; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no
such right to cure shall exist if the basis for such termination is incurable or
if otherwise any of the acts referred to in CLAUSE (i) of the definition of
"CAUSE" have been committed by the Employee.

          (c) Any determination as to whether the Employee is subject to a
Disability shall first be made by the Board (excluding the Employee if he should
be a member of the Board at the time of such determination) in its good faith
judgment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if any such determination is disputed by the
Employee, the matter shall be referred to a licensed physician practicing within
the Borough of New York in the State of New York or a 50-mile radius thereof and
selected by the Board and the Employee, and the determination of Disability made
by such physician shall be final and binding on both the Employee and the
Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "DISABILITY" means any
long-term disability or incapacity which renders, or would be reasonably
expected to render, the Employee unable to substantially perform his duties and
responsibilities hereunder for a cumulative total of 90 days during any 12-month
period.

reduction in the Base Salary of the Employee as in effect on the Effective Date
or (ii) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement, which breach is

the Employee to the Company, in each case without the prior written consent or
waiver of the Employee.

          Employee Benefit Plan that have accrued during any period if the terms

          in SECTION 6(a);

               (ii) the Base Salary and the Employee Benefits, payable
          periodically at the same intervals as if the Employment Period had not

          continued to be paid, up to (and including) the first one-year
          anniversary of the Termination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither

          during such 12-month period at a comparable salary, and (y) any salary
          payments received by Employee from such replacement employment during
          such 12-month period shall reduce, dollar for dollar, the amount of
          the continued payments of the Base Salary.

               (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
          or in any stock option agreement or other applicable agreement,
          between the Company and the Employee, as amended, supplemented or
          otherwise modified from time to time and in effect on the Termination
          Date, that number of options for the purchase of Common Stock issued
          by the Company that are subject to vesting and held by the Employee on
          the Termination Date (but before giving effect to any applicable
          forfeiture, repurchase or other similar rights arising on such date in
          favor of the Company or any other Person) shall become vested and
          exercisable as would have become vested and exercisable if the
          Employee's employment continued until the first anniversary of the
          Termination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each option that becomes
          exercisable as a result of this Section 6(b)(iii) or has previously
          vested must be exercised within 90 days after the Termination Date or
          otherwise expire.

          the Termination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the Employee nor
          the Employee's Representatives shall not be entitled to receive any
          Employee Benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan at any time after
          the Termination Date if the terms of such Employee Benefit Plan
          require that the Employee be employed by the Company or any Subsidiary
          thereof as of such time.

          (d) Except to the extent requested by the Board, upon the Termination

the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, but the Employee
nevertheless believes that he has received and shall receive sufficient
consideration and other benefits as provided hereunder and pursuant to other
agreements to which he and the Company are parties, which in any event he does
not believe (given his education, skills and ability) would prevent him from
otherwise earning a living.

otherwise, its own life, disability, accident or other insurance covering the

17.      GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a)      SEVERABILITY/ENFORCEMENT.

          (i) It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the
     provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible
     under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which
     enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this
     Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
     invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to
     such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining
     provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of
     this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
     provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
     provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited
     or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction,
     be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this
     Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in
     any other jurisdiction.


                                       10
<PAGE>


     Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, if at the time
     of enforcement of SECTIONS 7, 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement, a court holds
     that the restrictions stated therein are unreasonable under circumstances
     then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or
     geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted
     for the stated period, scope or area.

          (ii) The Company and the Employee shall each have and retain all other
     rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or equity, including,
     without limitation, any actions for specific performance and/or injunctive
     or other equitable relief to enforce or prevent any violations of the
     provisions of this Agreement. Because the Employee's services are unique
     and because the Employee has access to Confidential Information and Work
     Product, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate
     remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a
     breach or threatened breach by the Employee of SECTIONS 7, 8, 9 or 10, the
     Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to any other rights
     and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent
     jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in
     order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, such provisions (without
     posting a bond or other security) or require the Employee to account for
     and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, moneys, accruals and
     increments derived or received by him as a result of any transactions
     constituting a breach of such provisions.

          (iii) In addition to the foregoing, and not in any way in limitation
     thereof, or in limitation of any right or remedy otherwise available to the
     Company, if the Company shall determine that the Employee is in violation
     of any provision of SECTIONS 7, 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement (such
     determination being made before any judgment or decision with respect to
     such question shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction), the
     Company may withhold any severance payments then or thereafter due from the
     Company to the Employee, until there shall be a final judgment or decision
     by a court of competent jurisdiction that no such violation shall have
     occurred, in which case (A) the Company shall pay to the Employee, within
     five (5) Business Days after such judgment or decision, such amounts of
     severance under this Agreement previously withheld from payment by the
     Company, together with interest on such amounts withheld at a floating rate
     per annum equal to the prime rate announced from time to time by the Wall
     Street Journal as the prevailing "PRIME RATE" at U.S. money center banks,
     and (B) the Company shall reimburse the Employee for his reasonable
     attorneys fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of
     such judgment or decision within five (5) Business Days of the receipt by
     the Company of reasonable supporting documentation therefor. If the
     Employee is determined by a judgment or decision of a court of competent
     jurisdiction to have violated any provision of SECTIONS 7, 8, 9 or 10 of
     this Agreement, the Company's obligation to pay and the Employee's right to
     receive any severance payments under this Agreement on or after the date on
     which such violation shall have first occurred (whether already paid or
     otherwise) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and,
     within five (5) Business Days of any such judgment or decision, the
     Employee shall return to the Company any such severance payments already
     made by the Company.

          (iv) The Employee's obligations under SECTIONS 7, 8, 9 or 10 shall not
     be limited or affected by, and such provisions shall remain in full force
     and effect


                                       11
<PAGE>


     notwithstanding, the termination of any severance payments by the Company
     in accordance with SECTION 17(a)(iii). The exercise of by the Company of
     its right to terminate such payments pursuant to SECTION 17(a)(iii) shall
     not be deemed to be an election of remedies by the Company and shall not in
     any manner modify, limit or preclude the Company from exercising any other
     rights or seeking any other remedies available to it at law or in equity.

          (b) COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire
agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and thereof and supersede and preempt all prior or contemporaneous
understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Company and the
Employee, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof
or thereof in any way.

          (c) RIGHT OF SET OFF. The Company is authorized, on or after the
termination of the Employment Period by the Company for Cause, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time
payable by the Company to the Employee under this Agreement, against any and all
of the obligations of the Employee to the Company now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement or any other agreement or contract between the Employee on
the one hand and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on the other hand.

          (d) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement will be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company, the Employee and each of their respective
successors, assigns, personal and legal representatives, executors,
administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations
hereunder will be assignable or otherwise subject to hypothecation by the
Employee (except by will or by operation of the laws of intestate succession).

          (e) GOVERNING LAW; CHOICE OF JURISDICTION AND VENUE. THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS ENTERED INTO AND FULLY PERFORMED
WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK BY RESIDENTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. WITH RESPECT
TO ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
SITTING IN NEW YORK, (II) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, (III) WAIVES ANY
CLAIM THAT SUCH PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND (IV)
FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDINGS, THAT SUCH
COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY.

          (f) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action proceeding or
counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.


                                       12

          (g) AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. The provisions of this Agreement may be
amended and waived only with the prior written consent of the Company (upon the
written approval of the Board (excluding the Employee if he should be a member
of the Board at the time of such determination)) and the Employee, and no course
of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement
shall affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or
any provision hereof.

          (h) HEADINGS. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.

          (i) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

          (j) BUSINESS DAYS. If any time period for giving notice or taking
action hereunder expires on a day which is not a Business Day, the time period
for giving notice or taking action shall be automatically extended to the
immediately following Business Day.

          (k) SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS. All
representations, warranties and agreements contained herein shall survive in
perpetuity the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

          (l) NOUNS AND PRONOUNS. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns
used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms,
and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and
vice-versa.

                  CONSTRUCTION. Where specific language (such as the word
"INCLUDING") is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein,
such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any
manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The
language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the
parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict
construction shall be applied against any party hereto. The parties hereto have
participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the
event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this
Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
