Severance Benefits upon a subsequent  termination of the Executive in accordance

breach  (other than an  immaterial  and  inadvertent  breach) any  obligation of
confidentiality,  nondisclosure, noncompetition or nonsolicitation under this or
any other written  agreement in effect between  Executive and the Company or its
affiliates,  then  in  addition  to any  rights  the  Company  has  under  those
agreements to enjoin action and recover  damages,  the Company shall be released
from any further  obligation to pay Severance Pay or provide Severance  Benefits
to the Executive.  In addition, if after the expiration of the Restricted Period
but prior to the  expiration of one year  following a termination of employment,
Executive shall engage in any activity described in Section 3.2 (a) through (d),

the  extent  required  by this  Agreement  shall  constitute  a full,  final and
complete  accord,  satisfaction,  settlement  and  release of any and all claims
and/or suits against,  and  liabilities  of, the Company and its  affiliates,  ,
whether  existing as of the Effective Date, or thereafter  arising,  that any of
the foregoing  persons may have in connection with  Executive's  employment with
the Company.

Nothing in any  provision  of clauses  (a)  through (d) above shall be deemed to
prohibit Executive from accepting  employment with a customer or supplier of the
Company which is not also a competitor of the Company,

3.3 No  Solicitation.  Whether or not  Executive is entitled to Severance Pay or
Severance  Benefits,  Executive  shall not,  during the Restricted  Period:  (i)
induce or attempt to induce any  person who is  employed  by the  Company in any
capacity  to leave such  person's  position,  or in any way  interfere  with the
relationship  between  the  Company and such  person,  or (ii) hire  directly or
through  another  entity,  in any  capacity,  any person who was employed by the
Company  within 12 months prior to  termination  of  Executive's  employment  or
during the  Restricted  Period,  unless and until such person has been separated
from employment with the Company for at least six months.

3.4 Intellectual  Property..  Executive assigns to Company all right, title, and
interest  in and to any  and  all  inventions,  original  works  of  authorship,
developments, concepts, improvements or trade secrets, whether or not patentable
or registrable  under copyright or similar laws, which Executive may have solely
or  jointly  conceived  or  developed  or reduced  to  practice,  or cause to be
conceived  or  developed  or  reduced  to  practice,  during  the period of time
Executive   is  in  the  employ  of  Company   (collectively   referred   to  as
"Inventions"). The term "Inventions" shall not include, and this Paragraph shall
not apply to, any invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade
secret  information  of Company  was used and which was  developed  entirely  on
Executive's  own time,  unless (a) the invention  relates (i) to the business of
Company,  or (ii) to Company's  actual or demonstrably  anticipated  research or
development,  or (b) the invention  results from any work performed by Executive
for Company. Executive further acknowledge that all original works of authorship
which are made by Executive  (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of
and during the  period of  Executive's  employment  with  Company  and which are
protected  by  copyright  were "works made for hire," as that term is defined in
the United States Copyright Act.

3.5  Reasonable   Scope  and  Duration.   Executive   acknowledges   that  these
restrictions are reasonable in scope, are necessary to protect the trade secrets
and other  confidential  and  proprietary  information of the Company,  that the
benefits  provided  hereunder are full and fair compensation for these covenants
and that these  covenants  do not impair  Executive's  ability to be employed in
other  areas  of  his  expertise   and   experience.   Specifically,   Executive
acknowledges the reasonableness of the international scope of these covenants by
reason of the  international  customer  base and  prospective  customer base and
activities of the Company,  the widespread  domestic and international  scope of
Executive's  contacts  created  during  his  employment  with the  Company,  the
domestic  and  international  scope  of  Executive's  responsibilities  with the
Company and his access to marketing  strategies of the Company.  Notwithstanding
the  foregoing,  if any  court  determines  that  any of the  terms  herein  are
unreasonable or unenforceable,  such court may interpret, alter, amend or modify
any or all of such terms to include as much of the scope, time period and intent
as will render such  restrictions  enforceable,  and then in such reduced  form,
enforce such terms.

4.1  Equitable  Remedies.  Executive  agrees that any breach or violation of the
covenants  contained  in  Articles 3 of this  Agreement  would cause the Company
irreparable  loss and  damage  for  which  money  damages  would be  inadequate.
Therefore  the  parties  agree that in the event of any breach or  violation  or
attempted  breach or violation by the  Executive of the  covenants  contained in
Articles 3, the Company  may  enforce the terms of this  Agreement  in a suit at
equity. In connection therewith, the Company may obtain a preliminary injunction
or restraining order immediately upon the commencement of any such suit, without
notice. Employee hereby waives any requirement or entitlement to demand that the
Company post any bond in  connection  with such suit.  Employee also agrees that
any action for an injunction or restraining  order shall be without prejudice to
any other  remedy,  cause of action  for money  damages  or  otherwise  that the
Company may have by reason of breach, violation or attempted breach or violation
of this Agreement by Executive.

Company would be required to perform it if no such  assumption  had taken place.
In that event,  such purchaser  shall become  primarily  liable to Executive for
payments  hereunder,  and the  Company  shall be  thereafter  released  from any
further obligations under this Agreement.

the parties and their personal and legal  representatives,  assigns,  executors,
administrators,  successors, heirs, distributees,  devisees and legatees. If the
Executive  should  die while any  amounts  remain  payable  hereunder,  all such

Company shall be directed to the attention of the Board of Directors with a copy
to the  Secretary of the Company,  or to such other  address as either party may
have  furnished  to the other in writing in  accordance  herewith,  except  that
notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

4.4 Waiver,  Amendment and  Integration.  No provision of this  Agreement may be
modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver,  modification or discharge is
agreed to in  writing  signed by the  Executive  and the  Company.  No waiver by
either  party at any time of any  breach  by the other  party of, or  compliance
with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other
party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions
at  the  same  or  at  any  prior  or   subsequent   time.   No   agreements  or
representations,  oral or  otherwise,  express or implied,  with  respect to the
subject  matter  hereof  have been made by either  party which are not set forth
expressly in this Agreement.

accordance  with the laws of the State of Illinois,  excluding  conflicts of law
principles.

4.6 No  Employment  Contract.  Nothing  in this  Agreement  shall be  deemed  to
constitute a contract or guaranty of employment  or alter the at-will  status of
Executive's employment.

4.7 Validity.  The  invalidity  or  unenforceability  of any  provisions of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

4.8  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more  counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which  together  will
constitute one and the same instrument.
