of the applicable plan or program in question and to the sole determination of
the Board or any committee administering such plan or program. The Board of

4. OTHER BUSINESS AFFILIATIONS. In addition to Executive's obligations under
Section 8, Executive agrees that, without the approval of the Board of Directors

expenses incurred in the performance of his duties hereunder on behalf of the

     (c) TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE If the Company terminates Executive's
employment for any reason other than Cause, or Executive's employment is

the Company, unless Company agrees in writing to waive any of the forgoing.

7.         Severance Benefits.
           ------------------

     (a) TERMINATION NOT FOR CAUSE. If the Board of Directors terminates
Executive's employment for any reason other than Cause, or Executive's
employment is terminated by Constructive Termination as defined in this
Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following severance
benefits.

                  (1) GUARANTEED SEVERANCE PAYMENTS. Subject to Executive
              entering into a Release of Claims (in a form substantially similar
              to the release of claims attached as Exhibit A), Executive shall
              be entitled to receive severance payments for a period of six (6)
              months from the date of termination equal to Executive's then
              current base salary, which may be

<PAGE>

              greater than, but will not be less than the Base Compensation
              (the "Guaranteed Severance Payment"). The Guaranteed Severance
              Payment will be paid to Executive in accordance with the Company's
              standard payroll practices. Upon termination, Executive will also
              be entitled to receive a pro-rated portion of his then current
              targeted bonus for the fiscal year of his termination as described
              in Section 3(b) based on the date at which Executive gives notice.

                  (2) MEDICAL BENEFITS. The Company, at the Company's sole
              expense, shall provide Executive (and, if applicable, his eligible
              dependents) with the same level of health coverage and benefits as
              in effect for Executive (and, if applicable, his eligible
              dependents) on the day immediately preceding the day of the
              Executive's termination of employment (the "Company-Paid
              Coverage"); provided, however, that: (i) Executive and each
              eligible dependent constitutes a qualified beneficiary, as defined
              in Section 4980B(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
              amended (collectively, "Qualified Beneficiaries"); (ii) each
              Qualified Beneficiary elects continuation coverage under the
              Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended
              ("COBRA"), within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA;
              and (iii) if the health coverage is no longer offered by the
              Company to its current employees, then the Company shall be under
              no obligation to continue the existing coverage for Executive
              (and, if applicable, his eligible dependents). Such Company-Paid
              Coverage shall continue in effect for each Qualified Beneficiary
              until the earlier of (i) the Qualified Beneficiary is no longer
              eligible to receive continuation coverage under COBRA, or (ii) six
              (6) months following termination of employment.

Except for those obligations in subsection (2)(ii) above, the Company's
obligations under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Section 7(a) shall terminate upon
Executive's breach of his agreements under Section 8 hereof.

     (b) DISABILITY DEATH. If the Company terminates the Executive's employment
as a result of the Executive's Disability or if the Executive's employment
terminates due to the death of the Executive, then the Executive shall not be
entitled to receive severance or other benefits pursuant to this Agreement,
unless the Company has no benefit plan in place to account for death and
disability of employees, in which case Executive will be entitled to receive the
Guaranteed Severance Payment specified in Section 7(a)(1). Executive shall
remain eligible for those severance and other benefits (if any) as may then be
available under the Company's then existing severance and benefits plans and
policies at the time of Executive's termination or death.

     (c) STOCK OPTIONS. All of Executive's options not otherwise forfeited will
continue to vest during the six month Severance Benefits Period, including
grants made other than as provided herein. Executive will forfeit options that
have not vested as of the end of the six month Severance Benefits Period. In the
event the Company undergoes a Change in Control, or other material event in
which the Company or Executive's position undergoes a material change as a
result of the material event, Executive's stock options will accelerate vesting
such that fifty percent (50%) of the options will vest at the completion of the
Change in Control, or material event, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) will
vest 90 days thereafter.

     (f) INSIDER TRADING. While Executive receives severance payments, Executive
will no longer be deemed a Section 16(b) officer, but agrees to be considered an
"insider" and comply with the

<PAGE>

Company's Insider Trading Policy, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the
Board of Directors for matters related to reduction of Executive's stock
holding.

8.       Covenants Not to Compete and Not to Solicit.
         -------------------------------------------

         (a) During the term hereof, Executive agrees that he shall not,
directly or indirectly, engage on his own behalf, or as owner, manager, advisor,
principal, agent, partner, employee consultant, director, officer, stockholder
or other proprietor owning more than a five percent (5%) interest, in any firm,
corporation, partnership or other organization which is in the business of
manufacturing, selling or distributing products in competition with the products
of the Company. In case of any such ownership or participation, Executive shall
furnish a detailed statement thereof to the Board of Directors of the Company,
and, as from time to time requested by said Board, resubmit for approval a
detailed statement thereof, which statement may be approved by said Board as not
constituting such a violation or conflict, and in the event said Board
determines that such violation or conflict exists, Executive shall immediately
divest himself of such ownership or participation (or of representing or
promoting others engaged in any such business). It is intended and agreed that
during the term of this Agreement, Executive will not knowingly perform any act
which may confer any competitive benefit or advantage upon any enterprise
competing with the Company or any successor.

         (b) Upon the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company
within the terms of Section 7(a) and for a period of eighteen (18) months
thereafter, Executive agrees that he shall not, on his own behalf, or as owner,
manager, advisor, principal, agent, partner, employee consultant, director,
officer, stockholder or other proprietor owning more than a five percent (5%)
interest of any business entity, or otherwise, in any territory in which the
Company is actively engaged in business: (i) open or operate any business which
is in competition with any business of the Company, (ii) act as an employee,
agent, advisor or consultant of any competitor of the Company, (iii) take any
action to or do anything reasonably intended to divert business from the Company
or influence or attempt to influence any existing customers of the Company to
cease doing business with the Company or to alter its business relationship with
the Company, or (iv) take any action or do anything reasonably intended to
influence any suppliers of the Company to cease doing business with the Company
or to alter its business relationship with the Company. Executive further
covenants and agrees that he will not for himself or on behalf of any other
person, partnership, firm, association or corporation in any territory served by
the Company, directly or indirectly solicit or accept business from any of the
Company's existing customers for the purchase or sale of products or services of
a like kind to those sold or provided the Company. The foregoing covenant shall
not be deemed to prohibit Executive from acquiring an investment not more than
one percent (1%) of the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is
traded on a national securities exchange or through the automated quotation
system of a registered securities association.

         (c) During the term of this Agreement, and upon the termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company within the terms of Section 7(a) and for
a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter, Executive agrees that he shall not
either directly solicit, induce, attempt to hire, recruit, encourage, take away,
hire any employee of the Company or cause any employee of the Company to leave
his or her employment either for Executive or for any other entity or person.

         (d) Executive represents that he (i) is familiar with the foregoing
covenants not to compete and not to directly solicit, and (ii) is fully aware of
his obligations hereunder, including, without

<PAGE>

limitation, the reasonableness of the length of time, scope and geographic
coverage of these covenants. Executive agrees that the provisions of this
Section 8 contain restrictions that are not greater than necessary to protect
the interests of the Company. In the event of the breach or threatened breach by
Executive of this Section 8, the Company, in addition to all other remedies
available to it at law or in equity, will be entitled to seek injunctive relief
and/or specific performance to enforce this Section 8.

         (e) Company will respond within two weeks to any written request by
Executive to exclude a particular company or business entity from the scope of
this Section 8. Company will not unreasonably deny such a request. The parties
agree that a passive financial investment by Executive in a third party will not
constitute competition within the scope of this Section 8.

9.       DEFINITION OF CERTAIN TERMS.  The following  terms referred to in this
Agreement  shall have the following meanings for the purposes of this Agreement
only:
