          5.6.      Certain Additional Payments by the Company. Anything in this
                    -------------------------------------------
Agreement  to  the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined
that  any  payment,  distribution  or  other action by the Company to or for the
benefit  of  the  Executive  (whether  paid  or  payable  or  distributed  or
distributable  pursuant  to  the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, including
any  additional payments required under this Section 5.6) (a "Payment") would be
subject to an excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986,  as


                                      -7-
<PAGE>
amended (the "Code"), or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive
with  respect  to  any  such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such
interest  and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise
Tax"),  the Company shall make a payment to the Executive (a "Gross-Up Payment")
in  an  amount  such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including
any Excise Tax) imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains (or has
had  paid  to  the  Internal  Revenue  Service  on  his behalf) an amount of the
Gross-Up  Payment  equal  to  the  sum  of  (x)  the Excise Tax imposed upon the
Payments  and  (y)  the  product  of  any  deductions  disallowed because of the
inclusion  of  the Gross-Up Payment in the Executive's adjusted gross income and
the highest applicable marginal rate of federal income taxation for the calendar
year  in  which  the Gross-Up Payment is to be made. For purposes of determining
the  amount  of  the  Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to (i) pay
federal  income  taxes  at the highest marginal rates of federal income taxation
for  the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, and (ii) pay
applicable state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation
for  the  calendar  year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the
maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction
of  such  state  and  local  taxes.

and if required by the Board, the Executive hereby agrees to immediately execute
a  resignation  letter  to  the  Board.

termination  of  this  Agreement,  as  applicable.

thereof,  as  they  may exist  from time-to-time, collectively, the "Proprietary
Information"  are valuable, special and unique assets of the Company's business,
hi order to obtain and/or maintain access to such Proprietary Information, which
employee  acknowledges  is essential to the performance of his duties under this
Agreement,  the  Executive  agrees  that,  except  with  respect to those duties
assigned  to  him  by  the  Company,  the Executive shall hold in confidence all
Proprietary  Information  and the Executive will not reproduce, use, distribute,
disclose,  or  otherwise misappropriate any Proprietary Information, in whole or
in  part,  and will take no action causing, or fail to take any action necessary
to  prevent  causing,  any  Proprietary  Information  to  lose  its character as
Proprietary Information, nor will the Executive make use of any such Information
for  the  Executive's own purposes or for the benefit of any person, business or
legal  entity  (except  the  Company)  under  any circumstances, except that the
Executive  may  disclose  such Proprietary Information to the extent required by
law,  provided  that,  prior  to any such disclosure, the Company be provided an
opportunity  to  contest  such  disclosure.

          For  purposes  of  this  Agreement,  the  term  "Trade  Secrets" means

Information"  means  any  information  belonging  to or licensed to the Company,

long  as such information remains a Trade Secret and to Confidential Information

years  following  the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company
for  whatever  reason.

          6.3.     Non-solicitation  of  Employees and Customers.   At all times
                   ----------------------------------------------

Company  and  shall,  to  the  extent possible, be considered a work made by the
Executive  for hire for the Company within the meaning of Title 17 of the United
States  Code.  To the extent the Work Product may not be considered work made by
the  Executive  for  hire  for  the Company, the Executive agrees to assign, and
automatically  assign  at  the time of creation of the Work Product, without any
requirement  of  further  consideration,  any  right,  title,  or  interest  the
Executive  may  have  in such Work Product. Upon the request of the Company, the
Executive  shall  take such further actions, including execution and delivery of
instruments  of conveyance, as may be appropriate to give full and proper effect
to  such  assignment.

          6.5.     Books  and  Records.   All  books,  records,  and  accounts
                   --------------------

prepared  by the Executive or other-wise coming into the Executive's possession,
shall be the exclusive property of the Company and shall be returned immediately
to  the Company on termination of the Executive's employment hereunder or on the
Company's  request  at  any  time.

          6.6.     Definition  of Company.   Solely for purposes of this Article
                   -----------------------
6,  the term "Company" also shall include any existing or future subsidiaries of

other  entities that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries,
control,  are  controlled by or are under common control with the Company during
the  periods  described  herein.

          6.7.     Acknowledgment   by   Executive.   The   Executive
                   --------------------------------
acknowledges   and confirms that (a) the restrictive covenants contained in this
Article  6 are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests
of  the Company, and (b) the restrictions contained in this Article 6 (including
without  limitation  the length of the term of the provisions of this Article 6)
are  not  overbroad, overlong, or unfair and are not the result of overreaching,
duress  or coercion of any kind. The Executive further acknowledges and confirms
that  his  full,  uninhibited  and  faithful observance of each of the covenants
contained  in this Article 6 will not cause him any undue hardship, financial or
otherwise,  and  that enforcement of each of the covenants contained herein will
not  impair his ability to obtain employment commensurate with his abilities and
on  terms fully acceptable to him or otherwise to obtain income required for the
comfortable  support  of him and his family and the satisfaction of the needs of
his  creditors.    The  Executive  acknowledges  and  confirms  that his special
knowledge  of  the  business  of  the Company is such as would cause the Company
serious  injury  or  loss  if  he  were to use such ability and knowledge to the
benefit  of a competitor or were to compete with the Company in violation of the
terms  of  this  Article  6.  The  Executive  further  acknowledges  that  the
restrictions  contained  in this Article 6 are intended to be, and shall be, for
the  benefit  of  and  shall  be  enforceable  by,  the Company's successors and
assigns.

          6.8.     Reformation  by Court, hi the event that a court of competent
                   ----------------------
jurisdiction  shall determine that any provision of this Article 6 is invalid or
more  restrictive  than  permitted under the governing law of such jurisdiction,
then  only  as  to  enforcement  of  this  Article  6  within


                                      -10-
<PAGE>
the jurisdiction of such court, such provision shall be interpreted and enforced
as  if  it  provided  for the maximum restriction permitted under such governing
law.

          6.9.     Extension  of Time. If the Executive shall be in violation of
                   -------------------
any  provision  of  this  Article 6, then each time limitation set forth in this
Article  6  shall  be  extended for a period of time equal to the period of time
during  which  such  violation  or  violations  occur.   If  the  Company  seeks
injunctive relief from such violation in any court, then the covenants set forth
in  this  Article 6 shall be extended for a period of time equal to the pendency
of  such  proceeding  including  all  appeals  by  the  Executive.

          6.10.     Survival. The provisions of this Article 6 shall survive the
                    ---------
termination  of  this  Agreement,  as  applicable.

     7.   Injunction.  It  is  recognized and hereby acknowledged by the parties
          -----------
hereto  that  a  breach  by  the  Executive of any of the covenants contained in
Article  6  of  this  Agreement  will  cause  irreparable harm and damage to the
Company,  the monetary amount of which may be virtually impossible to ascertain.
As  a  result, the Executive recognizes and hereby acknowledges that the Company
shall  be  entitled  to  an  injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction
enjoining and restraining any violation of any or all of the covenants contained
in  Article  6  of  this  Agreement  by  the Executive or any of his affiliates,
associates,  partners  or  agents,  either directly or indirectly, and that such
right  to  injunction  shall  be  cumulative  and  in addition to whatever other
remedies  the  Company  may  possess.

     8.   Attorney's  Fees.    Nothing  contained  herein  shall be construed to

such  invalid word or words, phrase or phrases, sentence or sentences, clause or
clauses,  provisions  or provisions,  section or sections or article or articles
had not been inserted. If such invalidity is caused by length of time or size of
area,  or both, the otherwise invalid provision will be considered to be reduced

permitted  by  law  from  and  against  any  and  all  claims, damages, expenses
(including  attorneys'  fees), judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and all
other  liabilities incurred or paid by him in connection with the investigation,
defense,  prosecution,  settlement  or  appeal  of  any  threatened,  pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative  and  to which the Executive was or is a party or is threatened to
be  made  a party by reason of the fact that the Executive is or was an officer,
employee  or  agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by
the  Executive  in  any such capacity or capacities, provided that the Executive
acted  in  good faith, in a manner that was not grossly negligent or constituted
willful  misconduct  and  in  a  manner  he  reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed  to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal
action  or  proceeding,  had  no  reasonable  cause  to  believe his conduct was
unlawful.  The Company also shall pay any and all expenses (including attorney's
fees)  incurred  by the Executive as a result of the Executive being called as a
witness  in  connection  with any matter involving the Company and/or any of its

and  regardless  whether  indemnification  of the Indemnitee by the Company will
ultimately  be  required.   Any  advances  and undertakings to repay pursuant to
this  Section  20  shall  be  unsecured  and  interest-free.

               e.   The  provisions  of  this  Section  20  shall  survive  the
termination  of  this  Agreement.
