               (iii) Termination for "Cause" shall mean termination of the
Employee's employment with the Company because of (A) willful, material or
persistently repeated non-performance of the Employee's duties to the Company

               5. LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS.

               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any of the
payments made hereunder would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in
Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and the net after-tax amount of the parachute payment is less than the
net after-tax amount if the aggregate payments to be made to the Employee were
three times his "base amount" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code),
less $1.00, then the aggregate of the amounts constituting the parachute payment
shall be reduced to an amount that will equal three times the base amount, less
$1.00. The determinations to be made with respect to this Section 5 shall be
made by an independent accounting firm of national standing (other than the
Company's regular auditors). The accounting firm shall be paid by the Company
for its services performed hereunder.

               6. PROTECTION OF THE COMPANY'S INTERESTS.

               (a) No Competing Employment. For so long as the Employee is
employed by the Company and for one (1) year thereafter (such period being
referred to hereinafter as the "Restricted Period"), the Employee shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly, own an
interest in, manage, operate, join, control, lend money or render financial or
other assistance to or participate in or be connected with, as an officer,
employee, partner, stockholder, consultant or otherwise, any individual,
partnership, firm, corporation or other business organization or entity that
competes with the Group by providing



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

any goods or services provided or under development by the Group at the
effective date of the Employee's termination of employment under this Agreement;
provided, however, that this Section 6(a) shall not proscribe the Employee's
ownership, either directly or indirectly, of either less than five percent of
any class of securities which are listed on a national securities exchange or
quoted on the automated quotation system of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.

               (b) No Interference. During the Restricted Period, the Employee
shall not, whether for his own account or for the account of any other
individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other business organization (other
than the Company), intentionally solicit, endeavor to entice away from the Group
or otherwise interfere with the relationship of the Group with, any key person
or team who is employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for the
Group or any key person or team or entity who is, or was within the then most
recent twelve-month period, a customer, client or supplier of the Group.

               (c) Secrecy. The Employee recognizes that the services to be
performed by him hereunder are special, unique and extraordinary in that, by
reason of his employment hereunder, he may acquire confidential information and
trade secrets concerning the operation of the Group, the use or disclosure of
which could cause the Group substantial losses and damages which could not be
readily calculated and for which no remedy at law would be adequate.
Accordingly, the Employee covenants and agrees with the Company that he will not
at any time, except in performance of the Employee's obligations to the Company
hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly
disclose to any person any confidential information that he may learn or has
learned by reason of his association with the Group. The term "confidential
information" means any information not previously disclosed to the public or to
the trade by the Group with respect to the Company's, or any of its affiliates'
or subsidiaries', products, facilities and methods, trade secrets and other
intellectual property, systems, procedures, manuals, confidential reports,
product price lists, customer lists, financial information (including the
revenues, costs or profits associated with any of the Group's products),
business plans, prospects or opportunities.

               (d) Exclusive Property. The Employee confirms that all
confidential information is and shall remain the exclusive property of the
Group. All business records, papers and documents kept or made by the Employee
relating to the business of the Group shall be and remain the property of the
Group. Upon the termination of his employment with the Company or upon the
request of the Company at any time, the Employee shall promptly deliver to the
Company, and shall not without the consent of the Board retain copies of, any
written materials not previously made available to the public, or records and
documents made by the Employee or coming into his possession concerning the
business or affairs of the Group; provided, however, that subsequent to any such
termination, the Company shall provide the Employee with copies (the cost of
which shall be borne by the Employee) of any documents which are requested by
the Employee and which the Employee has determined in good faith are (i)
required to establish a defense to a claim that the Employee has not complied
with his duties hereunder or (ii) necessary to the Employee in order to comply
with applicable law.



                                       6

               (e) Assignment of Developments. All "Developments" (as defined
below) that were or are at any time made, conceived or suggested by Employee,
whether acting alone or in conjunction with others, during Employee's employment
with the Group shall be the sole and absolute property of the Group, free of any
reserved or other rights of any kind on the part of Employee. During Employee's
employment and, if such Developments were made, conceived or suggested by
Employee during his employment with the Group, thereafter, Employee shall
promptly make full disclosure of any such Developments to the Group and, at the
Group's cost and expense, do all acts and things (including, among others, the
execution and delivery under oath of patent and copyright applications and
instruments of assignment) deemed by the Group to be necessary or desirable at
any time in order to effect the full assignment to the Group of Employee's right
and title, if any, to such Developments. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "Developments" shall mean all data, discoveries, findings, reports,
designs, inventions, improvements, methods, practices, techniques, developments,
programs, concepts, and ideas, whether or not patentable, relating to the
activities of the Group of which Employee is as of the date of this Agreement
aware or of which Employee becomes aware at any time during the Term, excluding
any Development for which no equipment, supplies, facilities or confidential
information of the Group was used and which was developed entirely on Employee's
own time, unless (i) the Development relates directly to the business of the
Group, (ii) the Development relates to actual or demonstrably anticipated
research or development of the Group, or (iii) the Development results from any
work performed by Employee for the Group (the foregoing is agreed to satisfy the
written notice and other requirements of Section 49.44.140 of the Revised Code
of Washington).

               (f) Injunctive Relief. Without intending to limit the remedies
available to the Company, the Employee acknowledges that a breach of any of the
covenants contained in this Section 6 may result in material irreparable injury
to the Group for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be
possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event
of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a
temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction
restraining the Employee from engaging in activities prohibited by this Section
6 or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the
covenants in this Section 6. Without intending to limit the remedies available
to the Employee, the Employee shall be entitled to seek specific performance of
the Company's obligations under this Agreement.

               7. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

               (a) Source of Payments. All payments provided under this
Agreement, other than payments made pursuant to a plan which provides otherwise,
shall be paid in cash from the general funds of the Company, and no special or
separate fund shall be established, and no other segregation of assets made, to
assure payment. The Employee shall have no right, title or interest whatever in
or to any investments which the Company may make to aid the Company in meeting
its obligations hereunder. To the extent that any person acquires a right to
receive payments from the Company hereunder, such right shall be no greater than
the right



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

of an unsecured creditor of the Company; provided, however, that this provision
shall not be deemed to waive or abrogate any preferential or other rights to
payment accruing to the Employee under applicable bankruptcy laws by virtue of
the Employee's status as an employee of the Company.

               (b) No Other Severance Benefits. Except as specifically set forth
in this Agreement, the Employee covenants and agrees that he shall not be
entitled to any other form of severance benefits from the Company, including,
without limitation, benefits otherwise payable under any of the Company's
regular severance policies, in the event his employment hereunder ends for any
reason and, except with respect to obligations of the Company expressly provided
for herein, the Employee unconditionally releases the Company and its
subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees
and stockholders, or any of them, from any and all claims, liabilities or
obligations under this Agreement or under any severance or termination
arrangements of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates for
compensation or benefits in connection with his employment or the termination
thereof.

               (c) Tax Withholding. Payments to the Employee of all compensation
contemplated under this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable tax
withholding.

               (d) Notices. Any notice hereunder by either party to the other

other in writing.

               (e) Representation by the Employee. The Employee represents and
warrants that his entering into this Agreement does not, and that his
performance under this Agreement and consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not, violate the provisions of any agreement or
instrument to which the Employee is a party, or any decree, judgment or order to
which the Employee is subject, and that this Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of the Employee in accordance with its terms. Breach of this
representation will render all of the Company's obligations under this Agreement

               (f) Limited Waiver. The waiver by the Company or the Employee of
a violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, whether express or
implied, shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
violation of any such provision.

               (g) Assignment; Assumption of Agreement. No right, benefit or
interest hereunder shall be subject to assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge,

obligation or similar process. The Company will require any successor (whether
direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company to assume expressly
and to agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken
place.

               (h) Amendment; Actions by the Company. This Agreement may not be
amended, modified or canceled except by written agreement of the Employee and
the Company. Any and all determinations, judgments, reviews, verifications,
adjustments, approvals, consents, waivers or other actions of the Company
required or permitted under this Agreement shall be effective only if undertaken
by the Company pursuant to authority granted by a resolution duly adopted by the
Board; provided, however, that by resolution duly adopted in accordance with
this Section 7(h), the Board may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to one
or more of its members other than the Employee.

               (i) Severability. If any term or provision hereof is determined
to be invalid or unenforceable in a final court or arbitration proceeding, (i)
the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and (ii) the
invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be deemed replaced by a term or
provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the
intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

               (j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (determined
without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof).

               (k) Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the matters
covered hereby and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

hereto in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

purposes, there is no formal disciplinary procedure in relation to the
Employee's employment. The Employee shall be expected to maintain the highest
standards of integrity and behavior. If the Employee has any grievance in
relation to his employment or is not satisfied with any disciplinary procedure
taken in relation to him, he may apply in writing within 14 days of that
decision to the Board, whose decision shall be final. The foregoing shall not be
construed, however, to limit the Employee's remedies at law or otherwise.
