Upon the termination of the employment of Employee hereunder for any

termination, expiration or forfeiture of options shall be governed by the
option agreements with respect to such options, and the Stock Award Plan; and

Employee shall maintain Confidential Information as secret and confidential
unless Employee is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to
the terms of a valid and effective order issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction or a governmental authority. Employee shall use Confidential
Information solely for the purpose of carrying out those duties assigned him as
an employee of the Buyer and not for any other purpose. Employee will not
leave Confidential Information unattended or in public places, including public
areas of the offices of Parent or its Affiliates. Employee will exercise
discretion in discussing Confidential Information in public places, such as
restaurants and elevators, where conversations with other personnel of Parent
or its Affiliates may be overheard. Employee will not permit visitors to use
offices of Parent or its Affiliates unless no Confidential Information is
accessible. The disclosure of Confidential Information to Employee shall not
be construed as granting to Employee any license under any copyright, trade
secret or any right of ownership or right to use the information whatsoever.
All physical items, including electronic media, containing Confidential
Information, including, without limitation, any business plan, know-how,
collection methods and procedures, advertising techniques, marketing plans and
methods, sales techniques, documentation, contracts, reports, letters, notes,
any computer media, customer lists, and all other information and materials of
the Parents or any of its Affiliates business and operations, shall remain
the exclusive and confidential property of the Parent or its Affiliates and
shall be returned, along with any copies or notes of Employee made thereof or
therefrom, to the Parent when Employee ceases his employment with the Buyer.4.2   Non-Disparagement. Employee shall not at any time make false,
misleading or disparaging statements about Parent or its Affiliates or any of
their respective officers, directors,4employees, agents, products, services, management, employees, customers,
or which disrupts or impairs Parents or any of its Affiliates normal
operations.4.3   Non-Solicitation of Customers. During employment and for 2 years
after the Termination Date, Employee will not solicit Customers for the purpose
of providing or offering services offered by Parent or any of its Affiliates.4.4    Non-Solicitation of Employees. During employment and for 2 years
after the Termination Date, Employee will not induce or solicit to leave

Parent or any of its Affiliates and was an employee of the Parent or any of its
Affiliates at any time during the one-year period preceding the Termination
Date.4.5    Limitations on Post-Termination Competition. Employee hereby
covenants and agrees that during Employees employment with the Buyer, and for
2 years immediately following any termination of Employees employment with the
Buyer for any reason, Employee will not, within the Territory, directly engage
in the Business, or accept employment or engagement as a director, executive,
officer, manager, salesman, researcher or consultant with any person or entity
engaging in whole or in part in the Business; provided, however, that nothing
contained in this Article 4 shall prohibit Employee from acquiring not more
than five percent (5%) of any company whose common stock is publicly traded on
a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Employee
acknowledges that (a) this covenant has unique, substantial, and immeasurable
value to the Parent and its Affiliates, (b) this covenant is reasonably limited
in scope and geography to protect the Parents and its Affiliates legitimate
business interests, including their property, confidential information and
relationships, good will, economic advantage, and customer relationships; (c)
the agreements, covenants and undertakings of Employee set forth in this
Agreement will not preclude Employee from becoming gainfully employed following
termination of employment with the Buyer; and (d) the services Employee intends
and is expected to provide are special and unique.4.6    Works. Employee acknowledges that Employees work on and
contributions to writings, tapes, recordings, computer programs, and other
works in any tangible medium of expression (collectively, Works) are within
the scope of Employees employment and part of Employees duties,
responsibilities or assignment. Employees work on and contributions to the
Works will be rendered and made by Employee for, at the instigation of, and
under the overall direction of, the Parent, and all such work and
contributions, together with the Works, are and at all times shall be regarded
as work made for hire as that term is used in the United States Copyright
Laws and shall belong solely, irrevocably, and exclusively throughout the world
to the Parent. Without limiting this acknowledgment, to the extent that any
court or agency should conclude that the Works (or any of them) do not
constitute or qualify as a work made for hire, Employee assigns, grants, and
delivers exclusively to the Parent all rights, titles, and interests in and to
any such Works, and all copies and versions, including all copyrights and
renewals. Employee will execute and deliver to the Parent, its successors and
assigns, any assignments and documents the Parent requests for the purpose of
establishing, evidencing, registering, and enforcing or defending its complete,
exclusive, perpetual, and worldwide ownership of all rights, titles, and
interests of every kind and nature, including all copyrights, in and to the
Works, and Employee constitutes and appoints the Parent as its agent to execute
and deliver any assignments or documents Employee fails or refuses to execute
and deliver, this power and agency being5coupled with an interest and being irrevocable. Without limiting the
preceding provisions of this Section, Employee agrees that the Parent may edit
and modify, use, publish, and otherwise exploit the Works in all media and in
such manner as the Parent, in its sole discretion, may determine. Employees
work on and contributions to Works that prove valuable to Parent and its
Affiliates will be considered by Parent and Buyer in decisions concerning
discretionary bonus and other incentive compensation to Employee.4.7   Inventions and Ideas. Employee shall disclose promptly to the Parent,
and only to the Parent, any invention or idea of Employee (developed alone or
with others) conceived or made during Employees employment with the Buyer or
within 6 months of the termination of Employees employment. Employee assigns
to the Parent any such invention or idea in any way connected with Employees
employment or related to the Business, research or development, or demonstrably
anticipated research or development, and will cooperate with the Parent and
sign all papers deemed necessary by the Parent to enable it to obtain,
maintain, protect and defend patents covering such inventions and ideas and to
confirm the Parents exclusive ownership of all rights in such inventions,
ideas and patents, and irrevocably appoints the Parent as its agent to execute
and deliver any assignments or documents Employee fails or refuses to execute
and deliver promptly, this power and agency being coupled with an interest and
being irrevocable. This constitutes the Parents written notification that
this assignment does not apply to an invention for which no equipment,
supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Parent was used and which
was developed entirely on Employees own time, unless (a) the invention relates
(i) directly to the Business, or (ii) to the Parents or its Affiliates actual
or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention
results from any work performed by Employee for the Parent or its Affiliates.
Employees work on and contributions to inventions or ideas that prove valuable
to Parent and its Affiliates will be considered by Parent and Buyer in
decisions concerning discretionary bonus and other incentive compensation to
Employee.4.8   Relief for Breach. Because any breach or threatened breach of Article
4 of this Agreement by Employee would result in continuing material and
irreparable harm to the Parent and its Affiliates, and because it would be
difficult or impossible to establish the full monetary value of such damage,
the Buyer or Parent shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in the event of
Employees breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Injunctive relief is
in addition to any other available remedy, including termination of this
Agreement and damages. In the event of any threatened breach by Employee, the
Buyer or Parent may suspend any payment due to Employee under Article 3 and if
Employee has breached this Agreement, any remaining amounts to be paid under
Article 3 shall be forfeited. In the event of any breach or threatened breach
by any party which results in court-ordered relief, the breaching party shall
reimburse the non-breaching party for its reasonable attorneys fees and other
expenses incurred to obtain such relief.5.       Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions
