      example but without limitation, Trade Secrets and other Confidential
      Information, patents and patent applications, service marks, and service mark

      cause, the Executive shall continue to receive his salary for 12 additional
      months payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practice, plus
      reimbursement of any and all expenses incurred by Executive as of the date

      and exercisable and non-forfeitable by the Executive (but in no event beyond

      expiration of the stated term of such instrument), and all of such payments
      and

      The

      cease as of the effective date of the termination, including, without
      limitation, the right to receive Base Salary, bonus and all other compensation,
      expense allowance or benefits provided for in this Agreement, and the Executive
      shall not be entitled to any further compensation, expense allowance, benefits,
      or severance compensation of any kind, and shall have no further right or claim
      to any compensation, benefits or severance compensation under this Agreement
      or
      otherwise against the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates, from and
      after
      the date of such termination. For purposes of clarity, in the event of a
      termination of this Agreement the Executive shall not be entitled to any bonus
      other than any bonus payable through the date of notice of such
      termination.

    


    (f) Change
      in Control Termination.
      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event the
      Executive's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company following
      a
Change
      in
      Control
      (as
      defined below), the Executive shall receive within ten (10) calendar days of
      notice of such termination, in lieu of the payment specified in Section 7(b)
      above, a lump sum payment equivalent to twelve (12) months salary, plus
      reimbursement of any and all expenses incurred by Executive as of such date,
      plus payment in full of any and all prospective annual bonus payments with
      respect to the next succeeding twelve (12) month Employment Period, and, subject

      vest and become exercisable and/or non-forfeitable by the Executive until the
      first anniversary of the termination of the Executive's employment (but in
      no
      event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such instrument), and all
      of
      such payments and vesting of equity instruments shall completely and fully
      discharge any and all obligations and liabilities of the Company to the
      Executive with respect to this Agreement. 

    


    (g) Survival.
      Any
      termination under this Section 7 is subject to the provisions of Sections 18

    (h) Relinquishment
      of Authority.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon written notice
      to the Executive, the Company may immediately relieve the Executive of all
      his
      duties and responsibilities hereunder and may relieve the Executive of authority
      to act on behalf of, or legally bind, the Company.

    


    (i) Change
      in Control.
      For
      purposes of this Agreement “Change in Control” means (i) the acquisition (by
      means of purchase, merger or otherwise) by any person or any two or more persons
      acting as a partnership, syndicate or other group for the purpose of acquiring,
      holding or disposing of such securities of beneficial ownership of fifty-one
      percent (51%) or more of the sum of the amount of the shares of Company common
      stock (the “Shares”) then outstanding, plus any Shares which may be issued
      pursuant to the conversion or exercise of all outstanding options, rights or
      warrants; or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
      Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for purposes of this Section,
      a person shall not be deemed to have made an acquisition of beneficial ownership
      of Shares if such person: (a) acquires beneficial ownership of such Shares
      directly from the Company; (b) assumes beneficial ownership of more than the
      permitted percentage of Shares solely as a result of the acquisition of
      beneficial ownership of Shares by the Company which, by reducing the
      proportional beneficial ownership of Shares by other security holders, increases
      the proportional beneficial ownership of Shares by such person; or (c) is (1)
      the Company or any corporation or other person of which a majority of its voting
      power or its equity securities or equity interest is owned directly or
      indirectly by the Company (a “Controlled Entity”) or is owned directly or
      indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in the same proportion as their
      beneficial ownership of Shares or (2) a trustee or other fiduciary holding
      securities under one or more employee benefit plans or arrangements (or any
      trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company or any Controlled
      Entity.

    


    (j) For
      purposes of clarity and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
      Section 7, the termination of the Employment Term of this Agreement in
      accordance with ordinary termination of this Agreement without renewal shall
      not
      be deemed to be a termination which requires any supplemental payments,
      compensation, consideration or remuneration of any nature to be paid to the
      Executive as a function of such termination.

    


    8. Disability:
      Death.

    


    (a) If,
      prior
      to the expiration of the Employment Period, the Executive shall be unable to
      perform his duties hereunder by reason of physical or mental disability for
      at
      least thirty (30) consecutive calendar days, the Company shall have the right
      to
      terminate this Agreement and the remainder of the Employment Period by giving
      written notice to the Executive to that effect. Immediately upon the giving
      of
      such notice, the Employment Period shall terminate and such termination shall
      be
      deemed to be a termination without cause. 

    


    (b) Upon
      termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8(a), the Executive shall
      be
      paid his Base Salary and bonus (if any) through the effective date of such
      termination and all other compensation and benefits shall be subject to
      Section 7(b).

    (c) In
      the
      event of a dispute as to whether the Executive is disabled within the meaning
      of
      Section 8(a), either party may from time to time request a medical examination
      of the Executive by a doctor appointed by the chief of staff of a hospital
      selected by mutual agreement of the parties, or as the parties may otherwise
      agree, and the written medical opinion of such doctor shall be conclusive and
      binding upon the parties as to whether the Executive has become disabled and
      the
      date when such disability arose. The cost of any such medical examination shall
      be borne by the requesting party. 

    


    (d) If,
      prior
      to the expiration of the Employment Period or the termination of this Agreement,
      the Executive shall die, the Executive's estate shall be paid in accordance
      with
      Section 7(b). Any bonus payable shall be payable on the first bonus payment
      date
      following such termination. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8(d),
      upon the death of the Executive, the Employment Period shall terminate without
      further notice and the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder,
      including, without limitation, obligations with respect to compensation, expense
      allowance and benefits provided for in Section 3 of this Agreement, other
      than as set forth in in Section 7(b).

    


    (e) Any
      termination under this Section 8 is subject to the provisions of Section 18
      hereof.

    


    9. No
      Conflicts.
      The
      Executive has represented and hereby represents to the Company and its
      affiliates that the execution, delivery and performance by the Executive of
      this
      Agreement do not conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or
      constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under
      any
      contract, agreement or understanding, whether oral or written, to which the
      Executive is a party or of which the Executive is or should be aware and that
      there are no restrictions, covenants, agreements or limitations on his right
      or
      ability to enter into and perform the terms of this Agreement, and agrees to
      indemnify and save the Company and its affiliates harmless from any liability,
      cost or expense, including attorney’s fees, based upon or arising out of any
      such restrictions, covenants, agreements, or limitations that may be found
      to
      exist.

      manage, operate, join, or have a financial interest in, control or participate
      in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be employed as an
      employee, agent or consultant, or in any other individual or representative
      capacity for any business which is directly and geographically competitive
      within a 25 mile radius of any business carried on or planned to be carried
      on
      by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

    11. Non-Solicitation.
      During
      the Restricted Period, the Executive, directly or indirectly, whether for his
      account or for the account of any other individual or entity, shall not solicit
      or canvas the trade, business or patronage of, or sell to, any individuals
      or
      entities that were either customers of the Company during the time the Executive
      was employed by the Company, or prospective customers with respect to whom
      a
      sales effort, presentation or proposal was made by the Company or its
      affiliates, during the one year period prior to the termination or expiration
      of
      this Agreement, as the case may be. The Executive further agrees that during
      the
      Restricted Period, he shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, induce,
      enter into any agreement with, or attempt to influence any individual who was
      an
      employee or consultant of the Company at any time during the time the Executive
      was employed by the Company, to terminate his or her employment relationship
      with the Company or to become employed by the Executive or any individual or
      entity by which the Executive is employed or (ii) interfere in any other way
      with the employment, or other relationship, of any employee or consultant of
      the
      Company or its affiliates.

    


    12. Enforcement.
      The
      Executive agrees that any breach of the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6, 10
      and
      11 hereof would cause substantial and irreparable harm, not readily
      ascertainable or compensable in terms of money, to the Company for which
      remedies at law would be inadequate and that, in addition to any other remedy
      to
      which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, the Company shall be
      entitled to temporary, preliminary and other injunctive relief in the event
      the
      Executive violates or threatens to violate the provisions of Sections 4, 5,
      6,
      10 or 11 hereof, as well as damages, including, without limitation consequential
      damages, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and benefits
      arising from such violation, in each case without the need to post any security
      or bond. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the Company
      from pursuing, in addition, any other remedies available to the Company for
      such
      breach or threatened breach. A waiver by the Company of any breach of any
      provision hereof shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of a breach
      of
      any other provision of this Agreement or of any subsequent breach by the
      Executive.

    


    13. Determinations
      by the Company.
      All
      determinations and calculations with respect to this Agreement shall be made
      by
      the Board or any committee thereof to which the Board has delegated such
      authority in accordance with applicable law, the certificate of incorporation
      and by-laws of the Company, in its sole discretion, and shall be final,
      conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Executive and the personal
      representative of his estate. 

    


    14. Successors
      and Assigns.
      This
      Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon (i) the
      Company, its successors and assigns, and any company with which the Company
      may
      merge or consolidate or to which the Company may sell substantially all of
      its
      assets, and (ii) Executive and his executors, administrators, heirs and legal
      representatives. Since the Executive’s services are personal and unique in
      nature, the Executive may not transfer, sell or otherwise assign his rights,
      obligations or benefits under this Agreement.

    16. Severability.
      It is
      expressly understood and agreed that although the Company and the Executive
      consider the restrictions contained in this Agreement to be reasonable and
      necessary for the purpose of preserving the goodwill, proprietary rights and
      going concern value of the Company, if a final judicial determination is made
      by
      a court having jurisdiction that any restriction contained in this Agreement
      is
      invalid, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall
      be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such
      other extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
      reasonable. Alternatively, if the court referred to above finds that any
      restriction contained in this Agreement or any remedy provided herein is
      unenforceable, and such restriction or remedy cannot be amended so as to make
      it
      enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the
      other restrictions contained therein or the availability of any other remedy.
      The provisions of this Agreement shall in no respect limit or otherwise affect
      the Executive's obligations under other agreements with the Company.


    


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

    


    18. Effects
      of Termination.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if this Agreement
      is
      terminated pursuant to Section 7 or Section 8 or expires by its terms, the
      provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20 and this
      Section 18 shall continue in full force and effect. 

    


    19. Miscellaneous.
      This
      Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements,
      of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and there are
      no
      written or oral terms or representations made by either party other than those
      contained herein. This Agreement cannot be modified, altered or amended except
      by a writing signed by all the parties. No waiver by either party of any
      provision or condition of this Agreement at any time shall be deemed a waiver
      of
      such provision or condition at any prior or subsequent time or of any other
      provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent
      time.

    20. Governing
      Law; Arbitration.

    


    (a)
      This
      Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic
      laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or
      conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any
      other
      jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
      other than the State of New York.

    


    (b)
      The
      parties hereto agree to submit to arbitration any and all matters in dispute
      or
      in controversy among them concerning the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
      All such disputes and controversies shall be determined and adjudged by the
      decision of an arbitrator (hereinafter sometimes called the “Arbitrator”)
      selected by mutual agreement of the parties hereto or if the parties hereto
      fail
      to reach agreement on the Arbitrator within ten days after a party has notified
      the other of its interest to submit a matter to arbitration, the Arbitrator
      shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association upon application
      made
      to it for such purpose by the parties. Arbitration shall take place in the
      City
      of New York in the Borough of Manhattan, or such other place as the parties
      hereto may agree in writing. The Arbitrator shall reach and render a decision
      in
      writing with respect to the amount, if any, of payment respecting the disputed
      matter. The arbitration proceedings shall be held in accordance with the
      applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any award rendered
      shall be final and conclusive upon the parties and adjudgment thereon may be
      entered in the highest court of the forum, state or federal, having
      jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator and the respective fees
      and expenses of the parties hereto in connection with any such arbitration
      (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel
      and consultants) shall be paid by the party against whom a decision by the
      Arbitrator is rendered.
