applicable. The grant to be made simultaneously with the execution of this
Agreement is set forth on Exhibit B which is attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference.

                  (d) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Term, Mr. O'Neal
shall be eligible to receive reasonable amounts of paid, noncumulative vacation
per year, to be taken at a time or times reasonably agreeable to both Mr. O'Neal

and benefits under all group insurance, pension, profit sharing, bonus, stock
option, stock ownership and other employee benefit plans, programs and
arrangements of Sento which are now or hereafter adopted by Sento for the
benefit of its similarly situated executive employees, subject to and on a basis
consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans,
programs and arrangements.

                  (e) Business Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Mr. O'Neal
for the reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by Mr. O'Neal in
connection with the performance of his duties and obligations as set forth
herein during the Employment Term. Such expenses shall include, but are not
limited to, cellular telephone expenses and all expenses of travel and living
expenses while away from home on business or at the request and in the service
of the Company, provided that such expenses are properly incurred and accounted
for in accordance with the applicable policies and procedures established by the
Company. Reimbursement shall be made upon the presentation by Mr. O'Neal to the
Company of reasonably detailed statements of such expenses.

                  (f) Proration of Compensation. Any compensation payable to Mr.
O'Neal under this Section 2 in respect of any Fiscal Year during which the

                  (g) Mayo Clinic. The Company shall reimburse Mr. O'Neal for
the reasonable and necessary business expenses (not to exceed $3,000) incurred
by Mr. O'Neal in connection with an annual physical check-up performed at the
Mayo Clinic.

         3. Benefits Following Employment Term or Termination. For the shorter
of the following periods: (i) a period of twelve (12) months following the Date
of Termination of the Employment Term, or (ii) a period from the Date of
Termination of the Employment Term and continuing until the date Mr. O'Neal
accepts other employment with comparable benefits, and provided that Mr. O'Neal
was not terminated for cause as provided in Subsection (a) of Section 5 herein,
the Company shall permit, at the Company's expense, Mr. O'Neal, his spouse and
dependents, as applicable (the "Benefit Participants") to participate in all
group medical and health insurance plans then made available to the executive
employees of the Company (the "Plans") (including but not limited to such Plans
in which Mr. O'Neal was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of
Termination) in the same manner as provided to its other executive employees;
provided, however, that this Section 3 shall not apply in the event that (i)
Sento shall hereafter terminate the applicable Plan, or (ii) the participation
of the Benefit Participants in such Plan is prohibited by law or, if applicable,
would disqualify such Plan as a tax qualified plan pursuant to the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor thereto (the "Code") or (iii)
the participation of the Benefit Participants violates the general terms and
provisions of such applicable Plan. In the event that any of the Benefit
Participants' participation in such Plans is prohibited by law or, if
applicable, would disqualify the Plan as a tax qualified plan, the Company shall
pay the monthly COBRA premiums otherwise payable by Mr. O'Neal with respect to
continuation coverage of such Plans or permit the Benefit Participants to
acquire substantially comparable coverage at the Company's expense, from a
source of Mr. O'Neal's or his spouse's choosing, notwithstanding the fact that
such coverage or benefit will result in a higher cost than if provided under an
Sento Plan. However, in no event will the Benefit Participants receive from the
Company the coverage contemplated by this Section 3 if the Benefit Participants
receive such coverage from any other source.

         4. Compensation upon Termination or During Disability.

                  (a) Compensation upon Termination for Cause. If the Employment
Term shall be terminated "for cause," as provided in Subsection (a) of Section 5
herein, the Company shall have no further liability under this Agreement except
to pay Mr. O'Neal (i) the value of any accrued salary or other compensation due
to Mr. O'Neal pursuant to Section 2 herein (including any earned and awarded but
unpaid bonus payment, subject to set-off of amounts owed to the Company, but
excluding any deferred bonus payments based upon quarterly Fiscal Year
performance) upon the date of delivery of Notice of Termination to Mr. O'Neal,
at the rate in effect at the time such Notice of Termination is delivered, and
(ii) any benefits payable under all employee benefit plans, programs and
arrangements of Sento in which Mr. O'Neal is a participant on the date of
delivery of Notice of Termination.

                  (b) Compensation upon Death. If the Employment Term is
terminated by Mr. O'Neal's death, the Company shall have no further liability
under this Agreement except to pay Mr. O'Neal's spouse, or if he leaves no
spouse, his estate or devisee, legatee or other designee, as applicable, (i) the
value of any accrued salary or other compensation due to Mr. O'Neal pursuant to
Section 2 herein (including any earned put unpaid bonus payment or prorata share
of such earned bonus payment, but excluding deferred bonus payments based upon
annual Fiscal Year performance) at the time of his death, (ii) any death benefit
payable under all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements of Sento in
which Mr. O'Neal is a participant on the date of his death, and (iii) any Plan
coverage continuation for Mr. O'Neal's spouse and dependents, as applicable,
under Section 3 herein.

                  (c) Compensation upon Disability. During any period that Mr.
O'Neal fails to perform his duties hereunder as a result of incapacity due to an
"impaired condition," as such term is defined in Subsection (c) of Section 5
herein (the "disability period"), Mr. O'Neal shall continue to receive his full
salary at the rate then in effect for the disability period until the Employment
Term is terminated pursuant to Subsection (c) of Section 5 herein; provided,
however, that such salary payments so made to Mr. O'Neal pursuant hereto shall
be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, payable to Mr. O'Neal prior to or
during this period, as the result of such incapacity, under any disability
benefit plan or insurance program of Sento in which Mr. O'Neal participates.

                  In the event of termination of the Employment Term pursuant to
Subsection (c) (disability) of Section 5 herein, the Company shall have no
further responsibilities under this Agreement except (i) to pay the value of any
accrued salary or other compensation due under Section 2 herein (including any
earned but unpaid bonus payment or prorata share of such earned bonus payment,
but excluding deferred bonus payments based upon annual Fiscal Year performance)
on the Date of Termination to Mr. O'Neal (or in the event of Mr. O'Neal's
subsequent death, to his estate or devisee, legatee or other designee, as
applicable), together with any benefits payable under all employee benefit
plans, programs or arrangements of Sento in which Mr. O'Neal is a participant on
the Date of Termination, and (ii) to provide for any Plan coverage continuation
for Mr. O'Neal, his spouse and dependents, as applicable under Section 3 herein.

                  (d) Compensation upon Termination by Mr. O'Neal. If Mr. O'Neal
terminates the Employment Term due to "impaired health" or for Good Reason, as
such terms are defined in Subsection (d) of Section 5 herein, the Company shall
have no further responsibility under this Agreement except (i) to pay the value
of any accrued salary or other compensation due under Section 2 herein
(including any earned but unpaid bonus payment or prorata share of such earned
bonus payment, but excluding deferred bonus payments based upon annual Fiscal
Year performance) on the Date of Termination to Mr. O'Neal (or in the event of
Mr. O'Neal's subsequent death, to his estate or devisee, legatee or other
designee, as appropriate), together with any benefits payable under all employee
benefit plans, programs or arrangements of Sento in which Mr. O'Neal is a
participant on the Date of Termination, (ii) to pay the value of any severance
compensation owed to Mr. O'Neal (or in the event of Mr. O'Neal's subsequent
death, to his estate or devisee, legatee or other designee, as appropriate) as
set forth in Subsection (f) of this Section 4 (which shall survive the
termination of the Employment Term), and (iii) to provide for any Plan coverage
continuation for Mr. O'Neal, his spouse and dependents, as applicable, under
Section 3 herein.

                  (e) Compensation upon Termination by Company. If the Company
breaches this Agreement by terminating the Employment Term, other than pursuant
to Subsections (a) (cause), (b) (death), or (c) (disability) of Section 5
herein, including but not limited to termination without "cause" (as such term
is defined in Subsection (a) of Section 5 herein), the Company shall (i) pay the
value of any accrued salary or other compensation due under Section 2 herein
(including any earned but unpaid bonus payment or prorata share of such earned
bonus payment, but excluding deferred bonus payments based upon annual Fiscal
Year performance) on the Date of Termination to Mr. O'Neal (or in the event of
Mr. O'Neal's subsequent death, to his estate or devisee, legatee or other
designee, as appropriate), together with any benefits payable under all employee
benefit plans, programs or arrangements of Sento in which Mr. O'Neal is a
participant on the Date of Termination, (ii) pay the value of any severance
compensation owed to Mr. O'Neal (or in the event of Mr. O'Neal's subsequent
death, to his estate or devisee, legatee or other designee, as appropriate) as
set forth in Subsection (f) of this Section 4 (which shall survive the
termination of the Employment Term), and (iii) provide for any Plan coverage
continuation for Mr. O'Neal, his spouse and dependents, as applicable, under

                  (f) Severance Compensation.

                           (i) Termination by Company or by Mr. O'Neal for Good
         Reason. If the Company breaches this Agreement by terminating the
         Employment Term other than pursuant to Subsections (a) (cause), (b)
         (death), or (c) (disability) of Section 5 herein, including but not
         limited to termination without "cause" (as such term is defined in
         Subsection (a) of Section 5 herein), or if Mr. O'Neal terminates the
         Employment Term for Good Reason, as such term is defined in Subsection
         (d)(i) of Section 5 herein (other than due to a Change in Control, as
         hereinafter defined), then the Company shall pay as severance
         compensation to Mr. O'Neal an amount equal to one-half of Mr. O'Neal's
         annual base salary in effect as of the Date of Termination, payable by
         continuing Mr. O'Neal's regular salary at the regular bi-weekly payment
         intervals for a period of twenty six weeks after the Date of
         Termination, until the aggregate amount payable has been paid. Such
         severance compensation shall not be subject to mitigation or offset due
         to other earnings of Mr. O'Neal.

                           (ii) Termination Following a Change in Control. If
         the Employment Term is terminated by Mr. O'Neal or by the Company
         within one hundred eighty (180) days following a Change in Control, as
         such term is defined in Subsection (d)(ii) of Section 5 herein, then
         the Company shall pay as severance compensation to Mr. O'Neal an amount
         equal to one-half of Mr. O'Neal's annual base salary in effect as of
         the Date of Termination. Such severance compensation shall be payable
         by continuing Mr. O'Neal's regular salary at the regular bi-weekly
         payment intervals for a period of twenty six weeks after the Date of
         Termination, until the aggregate amount payable has been paid. Such
         severance compensation shall be subject to mitigation or offset due to
         other earnings of Mr. O'Neal.

         5. Termination.

                  (a) Cause. The Employment Term may be terminated at any time
at the option of the Company "for cause" (as such term is hereinafter defined),
effective upon the giving of written notice of termination to Mr. O'Neal. As
used herein, the term "for cause" shall mean and be limited to: (i) any felony
conviction, (ii) willful misconduct or gross negligence in connection with the
performance of Mr. O'Neal's duties, responsibilities, agreements and covenants
hereunder, which shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after the
receipt of notice from the Company, (iii) refusal to comply with reasonable
rules, regulations, policies, directions and restrictions as may be established
from time to time by the Board of Directors of Sento, whereby such refusal
continues for thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from the Company, or
(iv) repeated abuse (following at least one written warning from the Company) of
alcohol or any illegal use of narcotics or other controlled substances. If Mr.
O'Neal is advised that he is being terminated for cause, he may submit to the
Board of Directors of Sento a written objection to such determination.

                  (b) Death. The Employment Term shall terminate automatically
upon the death of Mr. O'Neal.

                  (c) Disability. In the event Mr. O'Neal becomes mentally or
physically "disabled" during the Employment Term, the Employment Term shall
terminate on the Date of Termination (as such term is defined in Subsection (f)
of this Section 5) once the disability is "established." As used in this
Subsection, the term "disabled" means suffering from any mental or physical
condition, other than that resulting from the use of alcohol or illegal use of
narcotics or other controlled substances, which renders Mr. O'Neal unable to
substantially perform all of his material duties and services under this

                                       5
<PAGE>

Agreement in a satisfactory manner (an "impaired condition") for a period of one
hundred twenty (120) consecutive days or for more than one hundred eighty (180)
days in any twelve (12) month period. For purposes of this Subsection, the date
that Mr. O'Neal's disability is "established" shall be, in the case of an
impaired condition which exists for a period of one hundred twenty (120)
consecutive days, the one hundred twenty-first (121st) day on which such
impaired condition exists, and, in the case of an impaired condition existing
for more than one hundred eighty (180) days in any twelve (12) month period, the
one hundred eighty-first (181st) day on which such impaired condition exists.

                  (d) Termination by Mr. O'Neal. Mr. O'Neal may terminate the
Employment Term (1) for Good Reason, or (2) if his health should become impaired
to an extent that makes his continued performance of his duties and obligations
hereunder hazardous to his physical or mental health or his life ("impaired
health"), provided that Mr. O'Neal shall have furnished the Company with a
written statement from a qualified doctor to such effect and provided further
that, at the Company's request, Mr. O'Neal shall submit to an examination by a
doctor selected by the Company and such doctor shall have concurred in the
conclusion of Mr. O'Neal's doctor, or (3) voluntarily, without Good Reason and
not due to "impaired health." In the event that Mr. O'Neal voluntarily
terminates the Employment Term without Good Reason and not due to "impaired
health," such termination shall be treated as if it were a termination "for
cause" by the Company.

                           (i) Good Reason Defined. For purposes of this
         Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean:

                                    a. a Change in Control of the Company (as
                  defined in Subsection (d)(ii) below);

                                    b. a failure by the Company to comply with
                  any material provision of this Agreement which has not been
                  cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such
                  noncompliance has been given by Mr. O'Neal to the Company; or

                                    c. any purported termination of Mr. O'Neal's
                  employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of
                  Termination satisfying the requirements of Subsection (e) of
                  this Section 5 (and for purposes of this Agreement no such
                  purported termination shall be effective);

                                    d. a change in Mr. O'Neal's title or duties
                  which are in material respects inconsistent with Mr. O'Neal's
                  position as set forth in Section 1(c);

                                    e. removal of Mr. O'Neal from the Company's
                  board of directors; or

                                    f. a required move of Mr. O'Neal's residence
                  to a location that is more than 50 miles from his existing
                  residence.

                  For the purpose of this Subsection (d)(i), no action or
         inaction by Mr. O'Neal within ninety (90) days following the occurrence
         of the foregoing events shall be deemed a consent by Mr. O'Neal to such
         events, absent written consent from Mr. O'Neal to the Company.

                           (ii) Change in Control Defined. A "Change in Control"
         shall be deemed to have occurred:

                                    a. upon any "person" as such term is used in
                  Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
                  1934 (the "Exchange Act") (other than any trustee or other
                  fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan

<PAGE>

                  of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly,
                  by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
                  proportions as their ownership of common stock of the
                  Company), becoming the owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
                  the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of
                  the Company representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of
                  the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding
                  securities;

                                    b. if, during any period of two consecutive
                  years, individuals who at the beginning of such period
                  constitute the Board of Directors, and any new director (other
                  than a director designated by a person who has entered into an
                  agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described
                  in paragraph (a), (c) or (d) of this Subsection or a director
                  whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of
                  either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms
                  are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under
                  the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation
                  of proxies or contests by or on behalf of a person other than
                  the Board of Directors of the Company) whose election by the
                  Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company's
                  stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
                  the directors then still in office who either were directors
                  at the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or
                  nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for
                  any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of

                  Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or
                  consolidation which would result in the voting securities of
                  the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing
                  to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
                  converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more
                  than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the
                  voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity
                  (which entity shall thereafter be the "Company" as defined
                  herein) outstanding immediately after such merger or
                  consolidation; provided, however, that a merger or
                  consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the
                  Company (or similar transaction) in which no person (other
                  than those covered by the exceptions in (a) above) acquires
                  more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the combined voting
                  power of the Company's then outstanding securities shall not
                  constitute a Change of Control of the Company; or

                                    d. if the stockholders of the Company
                  approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an
                  agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
                  substantially all of the Company's assets other than the sale
                  of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a
                  person or persons who beneficially own, directly or
                  indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) or more of the
                  combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of
                  the Company at the time of the sale.

                  (e) Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Employment
Term by the Company or by Mr. O'Neal (other than termination pursuant to
Subsection (b) (death) of this Section 5) shall be communicated by written
Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement,
a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of the Employment Term under the Section and Subsection so
indicated.

                  (f) Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" shall mean the
following, respectively, if the Employment Term is terminated by: (i) Subsection
(a) (cause) of this Section 5, the date specified in the Notice of Termination,

                                       7
<PAGE>

(ii) Subsection (b) (death) of this Section 5, the date of Mr. O'Neal's death,
(iii) Subsection (c) (disability) of this Section 5, thirty (30) days after
Notice of Termination is given (provided that Mr. O'Neal shall not have returned
to the satisfactory performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such
thirty (30) day period), and (iv) if for any other reason, the date on which a
Notice of Termination is given.

         6. Other Business Activities. During the Employment Term and continuing
thereafter for the period during which severance compensation is being paid, Mr.
O'Neal shall not, without the prior written authorization of the Board of
Directors of the Company, directly or indirectly render services of a business,
professional or commercial nature (whether for compensation or otherwise) to any
person or entity competitive or adverse to Sento's business welfare or engage in
any activity whether alone, as a partner, or as an officer, director, employee,
consultant, independent contractor, or stockholder in any other corporation,
person, or entity which is competitive with or adverse to Sento's business
welfare. This Section 6 shall not, however, prevent Mr. O'Neal from investing in
securities issued by any such competitive or adverse corporation, provided the
holdings thereof by Mr. O'Neal do not constitute more than five percent (5%) of
any one class of such securities. The Company covenants and agrees that it will
not assert the "inevitable disclosure doctrine" primarily in an attempt to
lengthen the term of the non-competition covenant of Mr. O'Neal as set forth in
this Section 6.

         7. Confidential Information.

                  (a) Disclosure and Use. Mr. O'Neal shall not disclose or use
at any time, either during or subsequent to the Employment Term, any trade
secrets or other confidential information, whether patentable or not, of Sento,
including but not limited to, any technical or non-technical data, any formula,
pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, drawing, process,
financial data, or any list of actual or potential customers or suppliers, of
which Mr. O'Neal is or becomes informed or aware during the Employment Term,
whether or not developed by Mr. O'Neal, except (i) as may be reasonably required
for Mr. O'Neal to perform Mr. O'Neal's employment duties with the Company, (ii)
to the extent such information becomes generally available to the public through
no wrongful act of Mr. O'Neal, (iii) information which has been disclosed as a
result of a subpoena or other legal process, provided that Mr. O'Neal has
provided the Company with prompt written notice of the receipt thereof, or (iv)
unless Mr. O'Neal shall first secure the Company's prior written authorization.
This covenant shall survive the termination of Mr. O'Neal's employment
hereunder, and shall remain in effect and be enforceable against Mr. O'Neal for
so long as any such Sento secret or confidential information retains economic
value, whether actual or potential, from not being generally known to other
persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. Mr. O'Neal
agrees to execute such further agreements and/or confirmations of Mr. O'Neal's
obligations to Sento concerning non-disclosure of Sento trade secrets and
confidential information as Sento may reasonably require from time to time.

                  (b) Return of Materials. Upon termination of the Employment
Term, Mr. O'Neal (or in the event of termination due to Mr. O'Neal's death, his
estate or devisee, legatee or other designee, as applicable) shall promptly
deliver to the Company all materials of a secret or confidential nature relating
to Sento's business which are in the possession or under the control of Mr.
O'Neal.

         8. Inventions and Discoveries. Mr. O'Neal hereby assigns to the Company
or its designee all of Mr. O'Neal's rights, title and interest in and to all
inventions, discoveries, processes, designs, works of authorship and other
intellectual property and all improvements on existing inventions, discoveries,
processes, designs, works and other intellectual property made or discovered by
Mr. O'Neal during the Employment Term. Promptly upon the development, making,
creation, or discovery of any invention, discovery, process, design, work,
intellectual property or improvement, Mr. O'Neal shall disclose the same to the
Company and shall execute and deliver to the Company or its designee such

                                       8
<PAGE>

reasonable documents as the Company may request to confirm the assignment of Mr.
O'Neal's rights therein, and if requested by the Company, shall assist the
Company or its designee in applying for and prosecuting any patents and any
trademark or copyright registration which may be available in respect thereof.
Any invention, discovery or other work for which none of Sento's equipment,
supplies, facilities, or confidential information was used and which was
developed entirely on Mr. O'Neal's own time, is exempted from this Section 8 so
long as it (i) does not relate in any way to Sento's business, or actual or
demonstrably anticipated research and development; and (ii) does not result in
any way from Mr. O'Neal's work for the Company.

         9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable, either in its entirety or by virtue of its scope or application
to given circumstances, such provision shall thereupon be deemed (i) modified
only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, or (ii) not applicable to
given circumstances, or (iii) excised from this Agreement, as the situation may
require, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such provision
had been included herein as so modified in scope or application, or had not been
included herein, as the case may be.

         10. Enforcement. The Company will be entitled to institute proceedings
and avail itself of all remedies at law or in equity to recover damages
occasioned by a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this
Agreement by Mr. O'Neal and shall have the right to pursue one or more of such
proceedings and remedies simultaneously or from time to time. Mr. O'Neal hereby
acknowledges that the Company would suffer irreparable injury if the provisions
of Sections 6, 7 and 8 herein, which shall survive the termination of this
Agreement, were breached and that the Company's remedies at law would be
inadequate in the event of such breach or threatened breach. Accordingly, Mr.
O'Neal hereby agrees that any such breach or threatened breach may, in addition
to any and all other available remedies, be preliminarily and permanently
enjoined by any court of competent jurisdiction without any requirement that the
Company post a bond.

         11. Legal Fees and Expenses. In the event of litigation proceedings
under this Agreement, both the Company and Mr. O'Neal shall pay their own
attorneys' fees and other legal expenses and costs.

         12. General Provisions.

                  (a) Notices. Any notice, request, demand or other
communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing
and personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, or by a facsimile, telegram or telex followed by a confirmation
letter sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed

                                    _________________________

Either the Company or Mr. O'Neal may, at any time, by notice to the other,
designate another address for service of notice on such party. When the letter,
facsimile, telegram or telex is dispatched as provided for above, the notice
shall be deemed to be made when the addressee actually receives the letter,
facsimile, telegram or telex, or upon the third (3rd) business day after the
date it is sent, whichever is earlier.

                  (b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms or

written instrument duly executed by the party to be charged therewith.

                  (d) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all matters or disputes
relating to the validity, construction, performance or enforcement hereof, shall
be governed, construed and controlled by and under the laws of the State of Utah
without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

                  (e) Successors and Assigns. In light of the unique personal
services to be performed by Mr. O'Neal hereunder, it is acknowledged and agreed
that any purported or attempted assignment or transfer by Mr. O'Neal of this
Agreement or any of Mr. O'Neal's duties, responsibilities, or obligations
hereunder shall be void. The Company shall not assign this Agreement to any
third party entity which is not affiliated with the Company or any of its direct
or indirect subsidiaries. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives,
successors and permitted assigns.

                  (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original hereof, but all
of which together shall constitute one and the same Instrument.

                  (g) Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth or
referred to in this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes the sole and entire
agreement and understanding between the parties hereto as to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of
every kind and nature between them as to such subject matter.

                  (h) Reliance by Third Parties. This Agreement is intended for
the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and permitted
assigns, and no other person or entity shall have any right to rely on this
Agreement or to claim or derive any benefit therefrom absent the express written
consent of the party to be charged with such reliance or benefit.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed as of the day and year first above written.
