     a. The  Executive  acknowledges  that,  in  connection  with his duties and
responsibilities  relating to his  employment  with the Company,  the  Executive
and/or other  employees of the Company  working with the Executive,  without the

relating to any Inventions,  whether or not performed  during the Executive's or
the Company's  regular  business hours,  are within the scope of the Executive's
employment  with the  Company  and that the  Company  owns all right,  title and
interest in and to all Inventions, including, to the extent that they exist, all
intellectual property rights thereto, including, without limitation, copyrights,
patents and trademarks in and to all Inventions. The Executive also acknowledges

     d. The Executive  acknowledges  that all rights,  waivers,  releases and/or

rights" or "droit moral" granted to the Executive in any country in the world.

     10.  Non-Competition  And  Non-Solicitation.  Because  of the nature of the
Company's  Business,  and  because,  as a result  of their  employment  with the
Company,  the Executive  and other  present and former  employees of the Company
have  been  and will be  exposed  to  Confidential  Information,  the  Executive
acknowledges  that the Company would sustain  grievous harm in the event that he
or  the  Company's   other  present  and  former   employees  were  to  disclose
Confidential  Information,  engage in business  activities that compete with the
Business,  appropriate  or divert  business or customers  of the Company  and/or
induce  employees or  consultants  of the Company to leave the employment of the
Company,  all of  which  would  violate  recognized  employee  obligations.  The
Executive  acknowledges  that the Company has a legitimate  business interest in
protecting  itself  from  the  aforementioned  harm  and in the  protection  and
maintenance  of  the  Confidential   Information  and  the  Company's   customer
relationships.  Therefore, the Executive hereby agrees and covenants to be bound
by the non-competition and non-solicitation  restrictions set forth hereinbelow,
which  restrictions  the Executive  agrees and  acknowledges  are reasonable and
necessary and do not impose undue hardship or burdens on the Executive.

     a. The Executive agrees that,  during his employment with the Company for a
period of three (3) years  following the  termination of his employment with the
Company, he shall not directly or indirectly own, manage,  operate,  control, be

competes  with the  Company  anywhere  in the  United  States  and the  People's
Republic  of China  where the  Company  is  engaged  in the  Business,  provided
however,  that the Executive shall not be prevented from owning an interest in a
publicly traded company so long as the fair market value of such interest at the
date of  acquisition  is less than One Hundred  Thousand  United States  Dollars
(US$100,000.00)  and none of the  Executive or his  affiliates  will directly or
indirectly  (whether  through related  companies or otherwise)  compete with the
Company  anywhere in the United States and the People's  Republic of China where
the Company is engaged in the Business.

     b. The Executive  agrees that during the period of his employment  with the
Company and for a period of three (3) years  following  the  termination  of his

supervise,  manage,  hire, cause to be hired or otherwise induce any employee of
the Company to leave the employment of the Company or any independent contractor
of the Company to terminate its relationship with the Company, for any reason.

foregoing or otherwise  induce or attempt to induce any customer of the Company,
to  terminate  or  adversely  modify its  relationship  with the  Company or any

     d. If any of the restrictive  covenants set forth in paragraphs  10(a), (b)
and (c) of this Agreement is held to be invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable  (in
whole or in part),  such  restrictive  covenant shall be deemed  modified to the
extent,   but  only  to  the  extent,   of  such   invalidity,   illegality   or
unenforceability,  and a court of competent jurisdiction shall have the power to
modify,  any such  restrictive  covenant to the extent  necessary to render such
provision  enforceable,  and the  remaining  restrictive  covenant  shall not be
affected thereby.

     e. In the event of a  violation  of any of the  restrictive  covenants  set
forth in paragraphs  10(a),  (b) and (c) of this Agreement,  if the Executive is
prevented  by a court or  arbitrator  from  committing  any  further  violation,
whether by a temporary  restraining  order,  injunction or  otherwise,  the time
periods set forth in paragraphs  10(a),  (b) and (c) of this Agreement  shall be
computed  by  commencing  the  periods  on the date of the  applicable  court or
arbitrators'  order and  continuing  them  from  that  date for the full  period
provided.

     f. The Executive shall have the right to request a waiver of all or part of
the restrictive  covenants  contained in paragraphs  10(a),  (b) and (c) of this

all or part of the restrictive  covenants contained in paragraphs 10(a), (b) and
(c) of this Agreement on such terms and conditions,  and to such extent,  as it,
in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Such waiver must be in writing.

     g. The parties  acknowledge that this Agreement would not have been entered
into,  that the  benefits  described  in  paragraphs 5 and 6 would not have been
promised to the  Executive  by the  Company,  in the absence of the  Executive's
covenants  and  promises  set  forth in  paragraphs  10(a),  (b) and (c) of this
Agreement.

     11.   Notwithstanding   the  termination  of  this  Agreement  and  of  the
Executive's  employment  with  the  Company,  paragraphs  8,  9 and  10 of  this
Agreement  shall  continue  in full  force and effect in  accordance  with their
terms.

     12.  Dispute  Resolution.  The  Executive  and the  Company  agree that any
dispute or claim, whether based on contract, tort, discrimination,  retaliation,
or  otherwise,  relating to,  arising from, or connected in any manner with this
Agreement  or with the  Executive's  employment  with  Company,  if not amicably
settled by the parties,  shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding
arbitration  under the auspices of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce ("HKCC") in
accordance with the commercial  arbitration rules and  supplementary  procedures
for international  commercial  arbitration of the HKCC. The arbitration shall be
held in Hong Kong.  There shall be three  arbitrators:  one arbitrator  shall be


                                       7
<PAGE>

chosen by each party to the dispute and those two  arbitrators  shall choose the
third  arbitrator.  Each party  shall  cooperate  with the other in making  full
disclosure of and providing  complete  access to all  information  and documents
requested by the other party in  connection  with the  arbitration  proceedings.
Arbitration shall be the sole, binding, exclusive and final remedy for resolving
any dispute between the parties; provided,  however, that either party may apply
to any court of competent  jurisdiction in the State of New York for enforcement
of any award granted by the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall have jurisdiction
to determine any claim,  including the arbitrability of any claim,  submitted to
them. The  arbitrators  may grant any relief  authorized by law for any properly
established  claim. The  interpretation  and enforceability of this paragraph of
this  Agreement  shall be governed and construed in  accordance  with the United
States Federal  Arbitration Act, 9. U.S.C. ss.1, et seq. More specifically,  the
parties  agree to submit to binding  arbitration  any claims for unpaid wages or
benefits, or for alleged  discrimination,  harassment,  or retaliation,  arising
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act, the National
Labor  Relations Act, the Age  Discrimination  in Employment  Act, the Americans
With Disabilities  Act, the Executive  Retirement Income Security Act, the Civil
Rights of 1991, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor  Standards Act,
Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code, COBRA, and any
other federal, state, or local law, regulation, or ordinance, and any common law
claims,  claims for breach of contract,  or claims for declaratory  relief.  The
Executive  acknowledges  that the purpose and effect of this paragraph is solely
to  elect  private  arbitration  in lieu of any  judicial  proceeding  he  might
otherwise  have available to him in the event of an  employment-related  dispute
between him and the Company. Therefore, the Executive hereby waives his right to
have any such  employment-related  dispute heard by a court or jury, as the case
may  be,   and   agrees   that  his   exclusive   procedure   to   redress   any
employment-related claims will be arbitration.

     13. Miscellaneous.

     a.  Telephones,   stationery,  postage,  e-mail,  the  internet  and  other
resources  made  available to the  Executive by the Company,  are solely for the
furtherance of the Company's business.

     b. All issues concerning,  relating to or arising out of this Agreement and
from the Executive's employment by the Company,  including,  without limitation,
the construction and interpretation of this Agreement,  shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without
giving effect to that State's principles of conflicts of law.

     c. The Executive and the Company agree that any provision of this Agreement
deemed  unenforceable  or invalid may be reformed to permit  enforcement  of the
objectionable provision to the fullest permissible extent. Any provision of this
Agreement deemed  unenforceable after modification shall be deemed stricken from
this  Agreement,  with the remainder of the Agreement being given its full force
and effect.

     d. The Company shall be entitled to equitable relief,  including injunctive
relief and specific  performance as against the Executive,  for the  Executive's
threatened or actual breach of paragraphs 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement, as money
damages  for  a  breach  thereof  would  be  incapable  of  precise  estimation,


                                       8
<PAGE>

uncertain,  and an  insufficient  remedy for an actual or  threatened  breach of
paragraphs  8, 9 or 10 of this  Agreement.  The  Executive and the Company agree
that any pursuit of equitable relief in respect of paragraphs 8, 9 or 10 of this
Agreement shall have no effect whatsoever  regarding the continued viability and
