                           NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT


  This Non-Competition Agreement is made as of the 27th  day of September 1999
by and among Cambridge Executive Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), CEE Incorporated, a Massachusetts corporation ("CEE"), and Professor
John J. Donovan ("Employee").

  WHEREAS, the Employee is an executive officer and/or a key employee of the
Company; and

  WHEREAS, the Company has developed, and will continue to develop during the
period Employee is so retained by the Company, goodwill by, among other things,
substantial expenditure of money and effort.

  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and
undertakings contained in this agreement, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, IT
IS AGREED:

  1.  Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have
      -----------
the following meanings:

      (a)  Agreement means this Non-Competition Agreement as may be amended from
time to time in the manner provided in this Agreement.

      (b)  Employment means the current or anticipated or subsequent retention
of Employee by the Company as a full-time employee, a part-time employee, a
consultant or otherwise, or any other period during which Employee receives
compensation from the company in any capacity.

  2.  Prohibited Competition.  Employee recognizes and acknowledges the
      ----------------------
competitive and proprietary nature of the Company's business operations.

  Employee acknowledges and agrees that a business will be deemed competitive
with the Company if it involves the development and performance of seminars,
classes and other presentations on the subject matter of information technology
of a nature similar to the seminars, classes and presentations currently
provided by the Company for Hewlett-Packard Company, Oracle Corporation,
Informix, Inc. and Lawson Associates, Inc. (such business to be referred to as
the "Field of Interest").

  Employee hereby agrees in consideration of the Company's agreement to hire
Employee and Employee's compensation for services rendered to the Company and in
view of the confidential position to be held by Employee, and the confidential
nature and proprietary value of the information which the Company may share with
Employee, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, as follows:

  Employee agrees that for a period beginning on the date hereof and continuing
until the first anniversary of this Agreement, Employee shall not engage,
directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or
entity other than the Company, whether as principal, agent, partner, co-
venturer, owner, stockholder, contract speaker, employee or consultant, anywhere
in the world, in any business or activity within the Field of Interest.

  Employee further recognizes and acknowledges that (i) the types of employment
which are prohibited by this paragraph are narrow and reasonable in relation to
the skills which represent
<PAGE>

Employee's principal salable asset both to the company and to Employee's other
prospective employers, and (ii) the specified but broad geographical scope of
the provisions of this paragraph is reasonable, legitimate and fair to Employee
in light of the Company's need to perform its and market its services and
throughout the world in order to have a sufficient customer base to make the
Company's business profitable .

  If any part of this section should be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unreasonable in duration, geographic area, or scope, then
this section is intended to and shall extend only for such period of time, in
such area and with respect to such activity as is determined to be reasonable.

  3.  Continuing Obligations.  Employee's obligations under this Agreement shall
      ----------------------
not be affected:  (i) by any termination of Employee's employment, including
termination upon the Company's initiative; nor (ii) by any change in Employee's
position, title or function with the Company; nor (iii) by any interruption in
employment during which Employee leaves and then rejoins the Company within a
period of six (6) months.  Nothing herein shall be construed as constituting an
employment agreement or an undertaking by the Company to retain Employee's
services for any stated period of time.

  4.  No Conflicting Agreements.  Employee represents and warrants that
      -------------------------
execution and performance of this Agreement does not and will not violate,
conflict with, or constitute a default under any contract, commitment,
agreement, understanding, arrangements, or restriction, or any adjudication,
order, injunction or finding of any kind by any court or agency to which
Employee may be a party or by which Employee may be bound.

  5.  Remedies.  In the event of any breach by Employee of any of the provisions
      --------
of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to monetary
damages and to any other remedies available to the Company under this Agreement
and at law, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and to payment by
Employee of all costs incurred by the Company in enforcement against Employee of
the provisions of this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
