                                    Agreement

                                     between

Chrysalis Holding (Europe) AG, Gewerbestrasse 5, 6330 Cham

                                                       (hereinafter "Chrysalis")

                                       and

Dr. J. Christian Jensen, Bohlstrasse 9A, 6300 Zug

                                                    (hereinafter the "Employee")

                                    regarding

                            Termination of Employment

1.    The parties agree to terminate the employment agreement entered into on
      December 19, 1996 (the "Employment Agreement") effective as of December
      31, 1998 ("Effective Date").

2.    As from the date hereof until the Effective Date, the Employee is, in
      principle, released from performing any work for Chrysalis. However, the
      Employee undertakes to (i) finalize the negotiations concerning the BML
      Joint Venture and (ii) perform those tasks which are necessary to transfer
      the BML Joint Venture Project to Gosse Bruinsma and other employees of
      Chrysalis before the Effective Date. The Employee will, if required,
      assist Gosse Bruinsma and other employees of Chrysalis in taking over the
      BML Joint Venture Project. All expenses incurred in relation to this
      Project require the prior approval of Mr. Paul Schmitt or his designee.

3.    The Employee agrees that, due to the long time period between the date
      hereof and the Effective Date, all vacation entitlements and overtime, if
      any, he might be entitled to will be compensated.

4.    Chrysalis continues to pay the Employee's salary until the Effective Date
      on the same terms and with the same deductions as in the past with the
      following exceptions:

      a)    The Employee declares that he ceased to make any payments to his
            individual pension plan with the Institute as mentioned in art. 3(c)
            of the Employment Agreement. Therefore, he takes note and agrees
            that Chrysalis ceased to make any payments to the individual pension
            plan of the Institute as defined in art. 3(c) (Benefits) of the
            Employment Agreement. Not effected by this provision shall be the
            pension payments under the mandatory Swiss pension fund scheme which
            Chrysalis will continue to make until the Effective Date.

<PAGE>   2

      b)    Chrysalis agrees to pay CHF 11,000--for the fall semester (September
            to December 1998) directly to the International School of Zug as the
            final payment under art. 3(b) of the Employment Agreement.

5.    Between the date hereof and the Effective Date the Employee is free to
      accept a new position with another employer. In such a case, however,
      Chrysalis will cease to make any further payments under art. 4 above.

6.    Chrysalis undertakes to file with the competent authorities of the Canton
      of Zug an application for the extension of the Employee's residence
      permit.

7.    Intentionally omitted.

8.    Chrysalis herewith informs the Employee that according to art. 10 of the
      Federal Act on Health Insurance of March 18, 1994,
      ("Krankenversicherungsgesetz", "KVG"), the Employee is obliged to notify
      his insurer about the fact that the employment relationship will end on
      the Effective Date.

9.    The Employee declares that on the Effective Date he will hand over to
      Chrysalis all pieces of property belonging to Chrysalis and all documents
      and copies thereof of a confidential nature belonging to Chrysalis to
      which he had access during his employment. The Employee furthermore
      declares that on the Effective Date the Employee will destroy on his own
      data processing equipment all electronically stored confidential data
      belonging to Chrysalis.

10.   The Employee undertakes to keep strictly confidential and neither use for
      his own purposes nor to make known to any third person any knowledge
      regarding Chrysalis, especially on matters of business policies,
      customers, business relationships and other business secrets.

11.   With the fulfillment of the obligations assumed by the parties under this
      agreement the parties declare not to have any claims against each other
      emanating from their employment relationship.

12.   Chrysalis herewith releases the Employee from the obligation to refrain
      from any Competitive Activity as defined in art. 6 of the Employment
      Agreement. However, the Employee declares to observe the no solicitation
      or hiring undertaking provided for in art. 7 of the Employment Agreement
      for a period of one year after the Effective Date.

13.   Terms in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as defined in the
      Employment Agreement.

14.   The present agreement shall be governed by Swiss law, in particular art.
      391 et seqq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations.

15.   This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties hereto
      and supersedes all previous agreements regarding the termination of the
      employment relationship.

            12. I agree that all provisions, terms and conditions of this
      Release are and shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed to
      any person not a party hereto under any circumstances, except as required
      by law.

            13. I agree that if I breach or threaten to breach any provision

      equitable remedies which the Company may have, including the right to an
      injunction.

            14. I represent that I have not filed any complaints or charges or
      lawsuits against the Company or any affiliate of the Company with any
      governmental agency or any court, and that I shall not do so at any time
      hereafter except for any such lawsuit to enforce my rights under the terms
      of the Termination Agreement.

            In witness whereof, I knowingly and freely have signed this Release
