5. Inventions Discovered by Executive.
   ----------------------------------

         The Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company any invention,
improvement, discovery, process, formula, or method or other intellectual
property, whether or not patentable or copyrightable (collectively,
"Inventions"), conceived or first reduced to practice by the Executive, either
alone or jointly with others, while performing services hereunder (or, if based
on any Confidential Information, at any time during or after the Term), (a)
which pertain to any line of business activity of the Company, whether then
conducted or then being actively planned by the Company, with which the
Executive was or is involved, (b) which is developed using time, material or
facilities of the Company, whether or not during working hours or on the Company
premises, or (c) which directly relates to any of the Executive's work during
the Term, whether or not during normal working hours. The Executive hereby
assigns to the Company all of the Executive's right, title and interest in and
to any such Inventions. During and after the Term, the Executive shall execute
any documents necessary to perfect the assignment of such Inventions to the
Company and to enable the Company to apply for, obtain and enforce patents,
trademarks and copyrights in any and all countries on such Inventions,
including, without limitation, the execution of any instruments and the giving
of evidence and testimony, without further compensation beyond the Executive's
agreed compensation during the course of the Executive's employment. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Executive further acknowledges that all original
works of authorship by the Executive, whether created alone or jointly with
others, related to the Executive's employment with the Company and which are
protectable by copyright, are "works made for hire" within the meaning of the
United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. ss. 101, as amended, and the copyright of
which shall be owned solely, completely and exclusively by the Company. If any
Invention is considered to be work not included in the categories of work
covered by the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. ss. 101, as amended, such
work is hereby assigned or transferred completely and exclusively to the
Company. The Executive hereby irrevocably designates counsel to the Company as
the Executive's agent and attorney-in-fact to do all lawful acts necessary to
apply for and obtain patents and copyrights and to enforce the Company's rights
under this Section. This Section 5 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. Any assignment of copyright hereunder includes all rights of
paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be
known as or referred to as "moral rights" (collectively "Moral Rights"). To the
extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned under applicable law and to the
extent the following is allowed by the laws in the various countries where Moral
Rights exist, the Executive hereby waives such Moral Rights and consents to any
action of the Company that would violate such Moral Rights in the absence of
such consent. The Executive agrees to confirm any such waivers and consents from
time to time as requested by the Company.

6. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.
   ------------------------------------

         The Executive acknowledges that the Company has invested substantial
time, money and resources in the development and retention of its Inventions,
Confidential Information (including trade secrets), customers, accounts and
business partners, and further acknowledges that during the course of the
Executive's employment with the Company the Executive has had and will have
access to the Company's Inventions and Confidential Information (including trade
secrets), and will be introduced to existing and prospective customers, accounts
and business partners of the Company. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that
any and all "goodwill" associated with any existing or prospective customer,
account or business partner belongs exclusively to the Company, including, but
not limited to, any goodwill created as a result of direct or indirect contacts
or relationships between the Executive and any existing or prospective
customers, accounts or business partners. Additionally, the parties acknowledge
and agree that Executive possesses skills that are special, unique or
extraordinary and that the value of the Company depends upon his use of such
skills on its behalf.

         In recognition of this, the Executive covenants and agrees that:

         (a) During the Term, and for a period of one year thereafter, the
Executive may not, without the prior written consent of the Board, (whether as
an employee, agent, servant, owner, partner, consultant, independent contractor,
representative, stockholder or in any other capacity whatsoever) participate in
any business that offers products or services competitive in any way to those
offered by the Company or that were under active development by the Company
during the Term, provided that nothing herein shall prohibit

                                       3
<PAGE>

the Executive from owning securities of corporations which are listed on a
national securities exchange or traded in the national over-the-counter market
in an amount which shall not exceed 3% of the outstanding shares of an such
corporation.

         (b) During the Term, and for a period of one year thereafter, the
Executive may not entice, solicit or encourage any Company employee to leave the
employ of the Company or any independent contractor to sever its engagement with
the Company, absent prior written consent to do so from the Board.

         (c) During the Term, and for a period of one year thereafter, the
Executive may not, directly or indirectly, entice, solicit or encourage any
customer, prospective customer, vendor, strategic partner or business associate
of the Company to cease doing business with the Company, reduce its relationship
with the Company or refrain from establishing or expanding a relationship with
the Company.

7. Non-Disparagement.
   -----------------

         The Executive hereby agrees that during the Term, and at all times
thereafter, the Executive will not make any statement that is disparaging about
the Company, any of its officers, directors, or shareholders, including, but not
limited to, any statement that disparages the products, services, finances,
financial condition, capabilities or other aspect of the business of the
Company. The Executive further agrees that during the same period the Executive
will not engage in any conduct that is intended to inflict harm upon the
professional or personal reputation of the Company or any of its officers,
directors, shareholders or employees.

8. Provisions Necessary and Reasonable.
   -----------------------------------

         (a) The Executive agrees that (i) the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6
and 7 of this Agreement are necessary and reasonable to protect the Company's
Confidential Information, Inventions, and goodwill; (ii) the specific temporal,
geographic and substantive provisions set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement
are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company's business interests in part
because the Company's business is international in scope; and (iii) in the event
of any breach of any of the covenants set forth herein, the Company would suffer
substantial irreparable harm and would not have an adequate remedy at law for
such breach. In recognition of the foregoing, the Executive agrees that in the
event of a breach or threatened breach of any of these covenants, in addition to
such other remedies as the Company may have at law, without posting any bond or
security, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain equitable relief, in
the form of specific performance, and/or temporary, preliminary or permanent
injunctive relief, or any other equitable remedy which then may be available.
The seeking of such injunction or order shall not affect the Company's right to
seek and obtain damages or other equitable relief on account of any such actual
or threatened breach.

         (b) If any of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 hereof,
or any part thereof, are hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the
same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be
given full effect without regard to the invalid portions.

         (c) If any of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 hereof,
or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction because of the temporal or geographic scope of such provision or
the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such
determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or geographic area
of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall be enforceable.

9. Representations Regarding Prior Work and Legal Obligations.
   ----------------------------------------------------------

         (a) The Executive represents that the Executive has no agreement or
other legal obligation with any prior employer, or any other person or entity,
that restricts the Executive's ability to accept employment with, or to perform
any function for, the Company.

                                       4
<PAGE>

         (b) The Executive has been advised by the Company that at no time
should the Executive divulge to or use for the benefit of the Company any trade
secret or confidential or proprietary information of any previous employer. The
Executive expressly acknowledges that the Executive has not divulged or used any
such information for the benefit of the Company.

         (c) The Executive acknowledges that the Executive has not and will not
misappropriate any Invention that the Executive played any part in creating
while working for any former employer.

         (d) The Executive acknowledges that the Company is basing important
business decisions on these representations, and affirms that all of the
statements included herein are true.

10. Termination and Severance.
    -------------------------

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement,
the Executive's employment hereunder may terminate under the following
circumstances:

         (a) Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate
         this Agreement for Cause at any time, upon written notice to the
         Executive setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Cause.

         willful and material breach of the terms of this Agreement; (ii) the
         Executive's commission of any felony or any crime involving moral
         turpitude; or (iii) gross negligence or willful misconduct by the
         Executive in connection with his position hereunder, or (iv) the
         Executive's willful refusal to perform his duties hereunder. Upon the

         no further obligation or liability to the Executive other than for
         salary earned under this Agreement prior to the date of termination,
         and any accrued but unused vacation.

         (b) Termination by the Company Without Cause or Resignation by the
         Executive for Good Reason.

                  (i) The Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated
         without Cause by the Company upon written notice to the Executive. The
         Executive may also terminate his employment hereunder for "Good Reason"
         upon one (1) month's written notice to the Company within thirty (30)
         days of the occurrence of any of the following events (A) a material
         breach of this Agreement by the Company, which shall be interpreted to
         include without limitation a failure to pay the Executive his salary or
         bonus, a failure to provide the Executive his benefits, or a
         requirement that the Executive travel a significantly larger number of
         days than in the previous calendar year; (B) a material reduction in
         the Executive's duties or responsibilities; (C) a change in the
         Executive's reporting relationship so that he no longer reports
         directly to the President; (D) a relocation of the Executive's worksite
         to a location 75 miles or more from its current location.

                  (ii) Subject to Section 11, if the Company terminates the
         Executive's employment without Cause, or the Executive terminates his
         employment for Good Reason (A) the Company shall continue to pay the
         Executive the Salary for a two (2) year severance period commencing
         upon the effective date of the termination (the "Severance Period");
         (B) the Company shall pay for the costs of, or reimburse the Executive
         for the costs he incurs in, continuing the Executive's and his eligible
         dependents' health insurance pursuant to COBRA for as long as the
         Executive (and/or his eligible dependents, as the case may be) are
         eligible for COBRA during the Severance Period, and then shall pay the
         cost of medical and dental coverage for the Executive comparable to
         that provided pursuant to COBRA, up to a maximum of $2000 per month;
         during the balance of the Severance Period; (C) during the Severance
         Period, the Company shall pay the cost of conversion of group term life
         coverage to an individual policy for the Executive; (D) during the
         Severance Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive a monthly lump
         sum cash payment equal to one-twelfth of the annual automobile
         allowance he received at the time of such termination; and (E) during
         the Severance Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive a monthly
         lump sum cash payment equal to one-twelfth of the non-elective deferral
         employer contribution made for his benefit under the

                                       5
<PAGE>

         Company's 401(k) plan for the last fiscal year of the Company prior to
         the termination of Executive's employment. As a condition of receiving
         severance payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement, the
         Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company prior to his/her
         receipt of such benefits a general release substantially in the form
         attached hereto as Exhibit A.

         (c) Resignation by the Executive without Good Reason. The Executive may
         resign his employment hereunder without Good Reason upon one (1)
         month's written notice to the Company. In the event of termination by
         the Executive pursuant to this subsection 10(c), the Company may elect
         to pay the Executive during the notice period (or for any remaining
         portion of that period) the Salary and benefits at the rate of
         compensation the Executive was receiving immediately before such notice
         of termination was tendered in lieu of actual notice.

         (d) Death. In the event of the Executive's death during the Term of
         this Agreement, the Executive's employment hereunder shall immediately
         and automatically terminate, and the Company shall have no further
         obligation or duty to the Executive or his estate or beneficiaries
         other than for the Salary earned under this Agreement to the date of
         termination and any payments or benefits due under Company policies or
         benefit plans.

         (e) Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment
         hereunder, upon written notice to the Executive, in the event that the
         Executive becomes disabled during the Term through any condition of
         either a physical or psychological nature and, as a result, is, with or
         without reasonable accommodation, unable to perform the essential
         functions of the services contemplated hereunder for (a) a period of
         one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive days, or (b) for shorter
         periods aggregating one hundred twenty (120) days during any twelve
         (12) month period during the Term. Any such termination shall become
         effective upon mailing or hand delivery of notice that the Company has
         elected its right to terminate under this subsection 10(e), and the
         Company shall have no further obligation or duty to the Executive other
         than for salary earned under this Agreement prior to the date of
         termination and any payments or benefits previously vested and due
         under Company policies or benefit plans.

         (f) Effect of Non-Renewal. In the event that the Company gives notice
         of its election not to extend the Initial Term or any Renewal Period
         pursuant to Section 2 above, the Executive shall be entitled to
         payments and benefits described in Section 10(b)(ii) above commencing
         on the Expiration Date subject to his execution and delivery of a
         general release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

         (g) Change in Control. Subject to Section 11, if the Executive resigns
         with Good Reason within one (1) year after a Change in Control, as
         defined below, he will be entitled to the payments and benefits
         described in Section 10(b)(ii) above (the "Severance Payments")
         provided that, if the grounds for the termination for Good Reason are
         those specified in Section 10(b)(i)(B) and/or (C), and if the Company
         gives the Executive written notice (the "Continuation Notice"), at any
         time up to ten (10) days after it receives the Executive's written
         resignation notice, that it wishes the Executive to continue his
         employment until a date not later than one (1) year after the Change in
         Control (the "Employment Continuation Date"), the Executive shall not
         be entitled to the Severance Payments until and unless he remains
         employed by the Company through the Employment Continuation Date.
         Nothing in this subsection 10(g) shall obligate the Company to provide
         the Executive with the Severance Payments upon a termination for Cause,
         death or disability. If the Executive does not provide the Company
         notice of resignation or non-renewal at any time during the year
         following a Change in Control and remains employed by the Company
         through the first anniversary of the Change in Control, as defined
         below, the Executive shall be paid a one-time bonus payment of 200% of
         his Salary (the "Special Bonus"). The Special Bonus shall be in
         addition to, and not in lieu of, any Severance Payments to which
         Executive may otherwise become entitled under this section 10 in
         connection with the subsequent termination of his employment. As used
         herein, a "Change in Control" shall mean a change of control of the
         Company of a nature that would be required to be reported in response
         to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any
         similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

                                       6
<PAGE>


          amended (the "1934 Act") whether or not the Company is then subject to
          such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without
          limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred
          if:

(x) any person or group (as such terms are used in connection with Sections
13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of securities
of the Company representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the
Company's then outstanding securities; (y) the Company is a party to a merger,
consolidation, sale of assets or other reorganization, or a proxy contest, as a
consequence of which members of the Board in office immediately prior to such
transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board thereafter;
and (z) during any period of twenty-four consecutive months, individuals who at
the beginning of such period constituted the Board (including for this purpose
any new director whose election 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 were directors at the beginning of such period) cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this subsection 10(g), a "Change in Control" will not be
deemed to have occurred solely because of the acquisition of securities of the
Company (or any reporting requirement under the 1934 Act relating thereto) by an
employee benefit plan maintained by the Company for its employees. As used
herein, the "Company" may include the Company's successors subsequent to a
Change in Control.

11. Benefit Limitation.
    ------------------

    (a) Should any payments or benefits become payable hereunder in connection
    with a Change in Control, then the aggregate Present Value, measured as of
    the Change in Control, of any Severance Payments to which the Executive
    becomes entitled under section 10(b)(ii) of this Agreement (namely, the
    salary continuation payments, the continued health care coverage, the life
    insurance coverage, the equivalent automobile and professional service
    payments and the equivalent 401(k) employer contribution payments) and, if
    applicable, any portion of the Special Bonus under section 10(g) which is
    deemed to constitute a parachute payment under Section 280 G of the Internal
    Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") shall in no event exceed in
    amount the greater of the following dollar amounts (the "Benefit Limit"):

         (i) 2.99 times the Executive's Average Compensation, less the Present
    Value, measured as of the Change in Control, of all Other Parachute Payments
    to which the Executive is entitled, or

         (ii) the amount that yields the Executive the greatest after-tax amount
    of benefits under this Agreement after taking into account any excise tax
    imposed under Code Section 4999 on his payments and benefits under section
    10 of this Agreement and any Other Parachute Payments,

        The portion of any option that automatically vests on an accelerated
basis upon a Change in Control pursuant to the terms of the agreement evidencing
that option that is deemed to be a parachute payment under Code Section 280G
(the "Option Parachute Payment") shall also be subject to the Benefit Limit. The
Option Parachute Payment shall be calculated in accordance with the valuation
provisions established under Code Section 280G and the applicable Treasury
Regulations and shall include an appropriate dollar adjustment to reflect the
lapse of the Executive's obligation to remain in the Company's employ as a
condition to the vesting of the accelerated installment. In no event, however,
shall the parachute payment attributable to any portion of such option exceed
the excess of the fair market value of the accelerated option shares at the time
of acceleration over the option exercise price of such shares.

        For purposes of applying the Benefit Limit, the value of the Executive's
non-competition covenant under Section 6 of this Agreement shall be determined
by an independent appraisal by a nationally recognized accounting firm
acceptable to both the Executive and the Company, and a portion of his Severance
Payments shall, to the extent of such appraised value, be specifically allocated
as reasonable compensation for such covenant.

                                       7

        "Average Compensation" means the average of the Executive's W-2 wages
from the Company for the five calendar years (or such fewer number of calendar
years of employment with the Company) completed immediately prior to the
calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs. Any W-2 wages for a partial
year of employment will be annualized, in accordance with the frequency which
such wages are paid during such partial year, before inclusion in the
Executive's Average Compensation.

        "Other Parachute Payments" means all payments in the nature of
compensation that are made to the Executive, other than the Severance Payments
described in section 10(b)(ii) of this Agreement or any portion of the Special
Bonus under section 10(g) deemed to constitute a parachute payment, payable in
connection with a Change in Control and which accordingly qualify as parachute
payments with the meaning of Code Section 280G. Other Parachute Payments shall
include, without limitation, the Present Value of any Option Parachute Payment.

        "Present Value" means the value, determined as of the date of the Change
in Control, of any payment in the nature of compensation to which the Executive
becomes entitled in connection with the Change in Control. The Present Value of
each such payment shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Code
Section 280G(d)(4), utilizing a discount rate equal to 120% of the applicable
Federal Rate in effect at the time of such determination, compounded
semi-annually to the effective date of the Change in Control.

         (b) In the event there is any disagreement between the Executive and
         the Company as to whether one or more payments to which Executive
         becomes entitled in connection with the Change in Control constitute
         parachute payments within the meaning of Code Section 280G, such
         dispute shall be resolved by the nationally recognized firm of
         certified public accountants used by the Company prior to the Change in
         Control (the "Accounting Firm"); provided, that if such firm declines
         to serve, the "Accounting Firm" shall be a nationally recognized firm
         of certified public accountants selected by mutual agreement of the
         Company and the Executive.

         (c) Once the requisite determinations have been made, then to the
         extent the aggregate Present Value, measured as of the Change in
         Control, of all parachute payments attributable to the Severance
         Payments under this Agreement and otherwise, including without
         limitation the Option Parachute Payment, exceeds the Benefit Limit, the
         following reductions shall be made to the payments and benefits under
         Section 10 of this Agreement, to the extent necessary to assure that
         such Benefit Limit is not exceeded: first, the Executive's salary
         continuation payments described in Section 10(b)(ii)(A) and then, if
         applicable, his Special Bonus under section 10(g), shall be reduced;
         and then the period of the Company's Company-paid health-care coverage
         described in Section 10(b)(ii)(B) shall be shortened. To the extent the
         Benefit Limit is still exceeded following such reductions, then a
         portion of the aggregate amount of payments described in Sections
         10(b)(ii)(C), (D) and (E) shall be reduced to the extent necessary to
         eliminate such excess and, finally, the Option Parachute Payment shall
         be reduced.

12. Choice of Law.
    -------------

        The Executive acknowledges that a substantial portion of the Company's
business is based out of and directed from the State of New York. The Executive
also acknowledges that during the course of the Executive's employment with the
Company the Executive will have substantial contacts with New York.

        The validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal law of New York,
without giving effect to conflict of law principles. Both parties agree that the
exclusive venue for any action, demand, claim or counterclaim relating to the
terms and provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement, or to their
breach, shall be in the state or federal courts located in Suffolk County, New
York and that such courts shall have personal jurisdiction over the parties to
this Agreement.

     breach.

     (f) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement should, for any
