    2.1 Term.
The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall
end on the close of business on the day after the first anniversary of the date
of commencement, unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section
3 hereof. The term hereof shall be extended automatically for an additional one
(1) year on each anniversary date hereof, unless prior to ninety (90) days

During the term of this Agreement and so long as Employee's employment
has not been subject to Termination for Cause, he shall be entitled to the
salary and other employment benefits provided in this Section 2.3
notwithstanding the level of compensation or benefits received by similarly
situated employees. Employee shall be entitled to an annual salary of no less
than $144,200, payable pursuant to the Company's employment compensation policy
as it may exist from time to time, with increases as may be made from time to
time in accordance with the Company's regular salary administration practices as
applied to executive officers of the Company. Employee shall be entitled to
reimbursement for business expenses on a basis no less favorable to Employee
than in accordance with the policy of the Company on the Effective
Date. Employee shall also be entitled to continuing participation, consistent
with past practices, in all employee benefits plans and practices of the Company
in place on the Effective Date, including, without limitation, life, long-term
disability and accident insurance, employee savings and investment plans, stock
plans, medical, dental, hospitalization and other welfare benefit plans, and

provided benefits.

    3.           Termination. Employee's
employment under this Agreement shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of
the following events:

     

    3.1 Total
and Permanent Disability. In the event that Employee suffers Total and
Permanent Disability, the Company may terminate Employee's employment, but shall
be obligated to continue Employee's then regular salary and continue his
benefits hereunder for a twelve month period. Employee agrees, in the event of
any dispute under this Section, to submit to a physical examination by a
licensed physician selected by the Company, the cost of such examination to be
paid by the Company, and the decision as to Employee's disability shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Company and Employee. Nothing contained herein
shall be construed to affect Employee's rights under any disability insurance or
similar policy, whether maintained by the Company, Employee or another
party.


    
      
         


      

      
         


        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    3.2 Death.
This agreement shall terminate upon the death of the Employee and no
further liability to Employee or to Employee's estate hereunder shall remain
other than the payment, within ninety (90) days of termination, of any accrued
but unpaid compensation as set forth in Section 2.3 hereof. Nothing contained
herein shall be construed to affect Employee's rights under any life insurance
or similar policy, whether maintained by the Company, or another
party.

    3.3 Termination
for Cause. The Company may terminate Employee's employment for Cause. The
Company shall have no further obligation to pay salary or benefits hereunder
after the date of any Termination for Cause or termination by employee other
than for Good Reason, but shall be obligated to pay, within ninety (90) days of
the termination, any accrued but unpaid compensation as set forth in Section 2.3
hereof.

     

    3.4 Good
Reason. Employee may terminate Employee's employment for Good Reason at
any time during the term of this Agreement. In the event Employee terminates his
employment for Good Reason, or the Company terminates Employee's employment
"without Cause", the Company shall continue to be liable to Employee for the
payment of Employee's compensation including medical and dental benefits as set
forth in Section 2.3 hereof for a twelve month period. In addition, all unvested
stock options granted to Employee shall immediately vest in full and shall be
exercisable as provided in the applicable stock option plan.

     

    3.5 Change
in Control. In the event Employee's employment is terminated by the
Company for any reason other than the death or disability of the Employee or for
Cause, within one year from the date on which a Change in Control occurred, (i)
the Company shall continue to be liable to Employee for the payment of
Employee's compensation including medical and dental benefits as set forth in
Section 2.3 hereof for an eighteen month period and (ii) all unvested stock
options previously granted to Employee shall immediately vest in full and shall
be exercisable as provided in the applicable stock option plan.

     

    4.            Covenant Not to Compete and
Confidentiality

     

    4.1 Covenant
Not to Compete. Employee shall not engage in any business or perform any
service, directly or indirectly, or have any interest, whether as a proprietor,
partner, employee, investor, principal, agent, consultant, director or officer,
in any enterprise which manufactures and markets radioisotopes or radioactive
brachytherapy devices for commercial purposes or which is in competition with
the business of the Company (i) during the term of his employment, or (ii) one
(1) year after termination of this Agreement; provided,
however, that this Covenant Not to Compete shall not apply if Employee's
employment is terminated by the Company without Cause; or by Employee for Good
Reason; or if Employee makes himself available for employment by the Company at
the end of the term of this Agreement upon similar terms and conditions to those
contained herein and the Company thereupon refuses to employ Employee. Nothing
in this Section 4 shall be deemed to prohibit Employee from purchasing less than
five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of any corporation whose shares are
traded on a national exchange and which, at the time of purchase, is not engaged
in competition with the Company.


    
      
         


      

      
         


        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    If any
court shall determine that the duration or geographical limit of the foregoing
restriction is unenforceable, it is the intention of the parties that the
foregoing restriction shall not be terminated but shall be deemed amended to the
extent required to render it valid and enforceable, such amendment to apply only
with respect to the operation of this Section 4 in the jurisdiction of the court
that has made the adjudication.

     

    4.2 Confidential
Information. Employee acknowledges that he has and will have access to
trade secrets and confidential business information of the Company and its
subsidiaries throughout the term of this Agreement and that any such trade
secret or confidential information, regardless of whether Employee alone or with
others developed any such trade secret or confidential information, shall be and
shall remain the property of the Company. During the term of this Agreement and
after termination of employment, Employee shall not, either voluntarily or
involuntarily, on either his own account, as a member of a firm, or on behalf of
another employer or otherwise, directly or indirectly use or reveal to any
person, partnership, corporation or association any trade secret or confidential
information of the Company, its parent, subsidiaries, or affiliates. Such trade
secrets shall include, but shall not be limited to, business plans, marketing
plans, or programs, financial information, forecasts, compensation arrangements,
contracts (whether leases, financing arrangements, or other contracts) customer
lists, and business opportunities. The term "trade secrets" shall not include
information generally available to the public or a governmental agency except
such term "trade secrets" shall include information provided to the Securities
and Exchange Commission or other governmental agency on a confidential basis.
Employee will not make available to any person, partnership, limited liability
company, corporation or association, or retain after termination of employment,
any Company policy manuals, contracts or other written materials.

     

    4.3 Injunctive
Relief. Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this
Section 4 are a reasonable and necessary protection of the immediate interests
of the Company and that violation of these restrictions would cause substantial
injury to the Company. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee
of these restrictions, the Company shall be entitled to apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for an injunction restraining Employee from such breach
or threatened breach; provided,
however, that the right to apply for an injunction shall not be construed
as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for such
breach or threatened breach.

     

    5.           Binding
Effect; Assignment. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employee, the
Company and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns; provided,
however, that Employee may not assign his rights hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Company and may not assign his obligations
hereunder. The Company may assign either its rights or obligations hereunder to
any successor to substantially all of the assets or business of the
Company.

     

    6.           Amendments. This
Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any respect except by
a subsequent written agreement executed by the Company and
Employee.
