            terminate as of the term's expiration date; a non-renewal shall not

      c.    by

            (i)   the Company without Cause; or

                  reduction in Employee's compensation or the assignment to the
                  Employee of any duties inconsistent in any material respect
                  with the Employee's position (including status, offices,
                  titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or
                  responsibilities as contemplated by Section 4 of this
                  Agreement, or any other action by Employer which results in a
                  material diminution in such position, authority, duties or
                  responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated,
                  insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith
                  and which is remedied by Employer promptly after receipt of
                  notice thereof given by the Employee; or

            (iii) the Employee in the event of a Change in Control of the
                  Company that occurs more than sixty days prior to the
                  expiration of a yearly term or within six months after the
                  Change in Control, and that results in a reduction in
                  compensation or a material change in duties, title, or
                  transfer to a location greater than fifty miles from the
                  Employee's residence, during a yearly term of this Agreement;
                  "Change of Control" shall mean a direct or indirect change in
                  the ownership or control of ENHERENT by purchase, merger,
                  consolidation, reorganization, lease, exchange, transfer or
                  sale of all the assets or outstanding stock of the ENHERENT
                  (in one transaction or a series of transactions) or taking
                  ENHERENT private or any other business transaction involving
                  ENHERENT or any combination of the foregoing transactions, any
                  of which has the effect of causing a Change of Control within
                  the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

            in which case Employee shall be entitled to receive as severance an
            amount equal to six (6) months of Employee's then current base
            salary (less all applicable and required federal, state, local and
            authorized deductions), to be paid pursuant to Company's regular
            payroll schedule; or

      d.    by the Company with Cause. For purposes of this Section 8, "Cause"
            shall mean: (a) Employee's embezzlement, willful breach of fiduciary
            duty or fraud with regard to Company or any of Company's assets or
            businesses, (b) Employee's conviction of, or pleading of guilty or
            nolo contendere, with regard to a felony (other than a traffic
            violation) or any other crime involving moral turpitude
            or involving activity related to the affairs of Company, or (c) any
            other breach by Employee of a material provision of the Employee
            Handbook or of this Agreement that, if capable of being cured,
            remains

                                        3
<PAGE>

            uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given
            to Employee. If the breach is not curable, Company may terminate
            without notice. In the event Company terminates the Employment
            Period for Cause, Company's sole obligation is to pay Employee for
            that period actually worked by Employee, subject to any direct
            financial loss to the Company resulting from Employee's breach.

9.    PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. Employee recognizes and acknowledges that
      Company's trade secrets, customer/broker/client lists, strategic plans,
      marketing plans, private processes, prospective customer/broker/client
      lists, and staff and prospective staff lists are deemed to be the private
      and proprietary information of Company and are available, special, unique
      and significant proprietary assets of Company's business. Employee will
      not either during or subsequent to the Employment Period, in whole or in
      part, disclose such trade secrets, customer/broker/client lists, strategic
      plans, marketing plans, staff or prospective staff lists, prospective
      customer/broker/client lists or private processes to any person, firm,
      corporation, association or other entity for any reason or purpose
      whatsoever. In addition, Employee shall not make use of any of the above
      for Employee's own purposes or for the benefit of any person, firm,
      corporation, or other entity other than Company under any circumstances
      during the Employment Period or subsequent to employment.

10.   NON-COMPETITION/NON-SOLICITATION. Employee agrees that during the
      Employment Period and for a period of one (1) year thereafter
      ("Restrictive Period"), Employee will not directly or indirectly, or in
      any capacity, individually or in any corporation, firm, association or
      other business entity, compete or attempt to compete with Company, any
      parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of Company, or any corporation merged
      into, or merged or consolidated with Company (a) by soliciting business
      from any customer, broker and/or client of Company with which Employee was
      involved (directly or indirectly) during the Employment Period, if such
      solicited business competes with the business of Company, or (b) inducing
      any personnel of Company to leave the service of Company, or by employing
      or contracting with any such personnel. The provisions of this Section 10
      shall be construed as an Agreement independent of any other provision
      contained herein and shall be enforceable in both Law and Equity,
      including by temporary or permanent Restraining Orders, notwithstanding
      the existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against Company,
      whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, if Company terminates Employee's employment for convenience
      hereunder, Company agrees that Employee may upon the termination of the
      Employment Period, perform services within the information technology
      industry, provided however that Employee does not compete with Company,
      (a) by soliciting directly or indirectly any Company employees, and/or (b)
      by soliciting directly or indirectly any new business from Company's then
      existing customers or Prospective Customers, during the Restrictive
      Period. "Prospective Customer" means any entity that the Company is, or
      has been within the twelve (12) months prior to Employee's termination, in
      the process of soliciting, negotiating with, or otherwise communicating
      with, for the purpose of providing goods or services.

      rights, title, and interest in all writings, products, inventions,
      discoveries, developments,

      improvements, ideas, technical notes, programs, specifications, computer
      or other apparatus programs and related documentation, and other works of
      authorship, tangible and intangible property, whether or not patentable,
      copyrightable or subject to other forms of protection, made, created,
      developed, discovered, written or conceived by Employee, solely or jointly
      with another, in whole or in part, for either Company and/or Company's
      customer(s), broker(s) and/or client(s) during the Employment Period,
      whether during or outside of regular working hours, and to promptly
      deliver to Company all such tangible properties and work products at the
      request of Company. Employee shall not be entitled to any compensation in
      addition to the amount set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement by reason

      contain any information relating to Company's business or any of its
      customers, brokers and/or clients, and Employee agrees that Employee will
      neither make nor retain copies of such materials after termination of
      employment.

13.   OFFSET. Employee hereby authorizes Company, at any time, to offset and
      deduct against any and all monies due to Employee by Company, whether for
      salary or other remuneration to the full extent allowed by law, any and
      all monies owed by Employee to Company for any reason whatsoever,
      including, but not limited to the correction of payroll errors and/or
      advanced vacation time.

14.   NON-WAIVER. The failure of either party to insist upon the performance of
      any of the provisions of this agreement, or the waiver of any breach,
      shall not be construed as or constitute a waiver of the rights granted in
      this Agreement with respect to any subsequent forbearance or breach.

15.   GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. The sections of the Handbook entitled "ADR
      Clause" and "Applicable Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue" are incorporated
      into this Agreement. The Agreement shall be construed under and be

      to choice or conflicts of laws, of the State of New York.

16.   SUCCESSORS AND INTEGRATION. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
      to the benefit of the parties hereto and any successor to the business of
      Company, but neither the Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be
      assigned, pledged or encumbered by Employee without the written consent of
      Company.

      This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements made between the parties,
      whether oral or written, and constitutes that final and entire agreement
      and understanding of the parties, all prior representations and agreements
      having been merged into this Agreement, and this Agreement shall amend,
      restate and replace all prior employment agreements entered into between
      Company and Employee. No waiver or modification of this Agreement or of
      any covenant, condition, or limitation shall be valid unless in writing
      and duly executed by the

      modification shall be offered or received in evidence in any proceeding,
      arbitration or litigation between the parties arising out of or affecting
      this Agreement, or the rights or obligations of the parties, unless such
      waiver or modification is in writing, and duly executed, and the parties
      agree that the provisions of this Section 16 may not be waived except as
      set forth in this Agreement.

17.   SEVERABILITY. All agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are
      severable, and in the event any of them shall be held to be invalid by any
      competent court, this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such invalid
      agreements or covenants were not contained in this Agreement.

18.   AUTHORITY OF EMPLOYEE. Employee hereby represents and warrants that the
      execution of this Agreement by Employee and the performance of Employee's
      duties and obligations in this Agreement will not breach or be in conflict
      with any other agreement to which Employee is a party or by which Employee
      is bound, and that Employee is not now subject to any covenant against
      competition or similar covenant which would affect the performance of
      Employee's duties in this Agreement except for any obligations that
      Employee discloses to Company upon signing this Agreement. Employee hereby
      agrees to indemnify Company for all claims arising out or related to
      Employee's breach of this Section 18.
