                                    --------

          WHEREAS, the Company desires to secure the services and employment of
the Executive on behalf of the Company, and the Executive desires to enter into
employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth
in this Agreement;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
contained herein, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound hereby,
agree as follows:

          1. Employment; Duties. The Company hereby employs the Executive as the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Executive accepts
such employment for the Employment Term specified in Section 3 below. The
Executive shall report directly to the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Board") and its Chairman. During the Employment Term, the Company shall cause
the Executive to be elected as a director of the Company and upon such election,
the Executive agrees to so serve. The Executive shall also serve on such
committees of the Board as requested by the Board. During the Employment Term,
the Executive shall serve in such capacity, exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are customarily and ordinarily required of chief executive
officers of similar companies, and shall have such other powers and perform such
other duties as may from time to time be assigned to him by the Board.

          2. Performance. The Executive shall serve the Company faithfully and
to the best of his ability and shall devote substantially all of his business
time, energy, experience and talents to the performance of his duties hereunder;
provided, however, that it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the
Executive to manage his personal finances, investments and business affairs, or
to engage in or serve such civic, community, charitable, educational, or
religious organizations as he may reasonably select. The Executive shall also be
permitted to sit on the Board of the companies or other organizations as shown
on Exhibit A attached hereto and of such other companies as the Board shall
approve, such approval not to be unreasonably denied.

          3. Employment Term. The Executive's employment under this Agreement
shall be effective commencing June 15, 2000 (the "Commencement Date"), and,
subject to termination of employment pursuant to Section 8 hereof, continue for
a period of two years until June 15, 2002, provided that, on June 15, 2002, and
on each subsequent second anniversary thereof, unless the Company or the
Executive provides written notice to the other party of his or its intention not
to renew no later than 60 days prior to June 15, 2002, or such subsequent
anniversary, as applicable, and subject to termination of employment pursuant to
Section 8 hereof, the term of employment under this Agreement shall be
automatically renewed for an additional period of two years. The term of
employment hereunder shall be the "Employment Term."

          4. Compensation and Benefits.

          (a) Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay the
Executive a base salary, payable in equal installments in accordance with normal
Company procedures, at an annual rate of Three Hundred Seventy Five Thousand US
Dollars ($375,000) (the "Base Salary"). The Base Salary shall be reviewed
periodically, but not less than annually, by the Board or the Compensation
Committee thereof and may be increased, but not decreased, from time to time by
the Board or such Committee.

          (b) Performance Bonus. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall
also be eligible to receive an annual performance-based cash bonus (the
"Performance Bonus") of up to One Hundred Eighty Seven Thousand Five Hundred US
Dollars ($187,500) based upon satisfaction of performance criteria to be
mutually agreed to by the Executive and the Board (or the Compensation Committee
of the Board). The determination of whether the Executive is entitled to payment
of the Performance Bonus shall be made by the Board (or the Compensation
Committee of the Board) in its good faith discretion.

          (c) Restricted Stock Award. (i) On the Commencement Date, the Company
shall award the Executive Eight Hundred Thousand (800,000) shares of the
Company's common stock (the "Restricted Shares"), which shares shall be
nontransferable and subject to forfeiture or repurchase as described in this
Section 4(c). Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 4(c) and
Sections 6 and 7 hereof, the Restricted Shares shall vest and become
transferable and nonforeitable in an amount equal to 25% of the total number of
Restricted Shares on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date and, with
respect to the remaining 75% of the total number of Restricted Shares, shall
vest monthly after such first anniversary in equal ratable amounts, such that
subject to the remainder all such Restricted Shares shall be vested on June 15,
2004. Subject to Sections 6 and 7 hereof, the Restricted Shares shall become
fully vested upon (1) the occurrence of a "Change of Control" (as defined below)
or (2) the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company due to
termination (x) by the Company other than for "Cause" (as defined below) or
"Non-Performance" (as defined below) and other than his death or Disability (as
defined below), or (y) by the Executive for "Good Reason" (as defined below). In
addition, subject to Sections 6 and 7 hereof, (x) if the Company terminates the
Executive's employment for Non-Performance, 50% of any then unvested Restricted
Shares shall be forfeited and the remaining then unvested Restricted Shares
shall become fully vested, and (y) if the Executive's employment with the
Company terminates due to death or Disability, 25% of the Restricted Shares, or
the portion theretofore vested, if greater, shall be fully vested. For avoidance
of doubt, (x) non-renewal by the Company of the Employment Term (other than a
non-renewal which is expressly stated to be for Cause, Non-Performance or
Disability) upon the expiration of the initial term of employment shall be
deemed to be a termination of the Executive's employment other than for Cause,
Non-Performance or Disability for purposes of the vesting of Restricted Shares
described herein, and (y) non-renewal by the Executive of the Employment Term
which is expressly stated to be for Good Reason shall be treated in the same
manner as if the Executive had acted to terminate the Employment Term for Good
Reason immediately prior to the expiration of the Employment Term.

          (ii) All unvested Restricted Shares that do not vest in accordance
with paragraph (i) of this Section 4(c) shall, (x) upon termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company due to Non-Performance, death or
Disability, be immediately deemed to be repurchased by the Company for an amount
equal to the sum of (A) the pro rata portion of the principal amount of any loan
described in paragraph (iii) of this Section 4(c) that is applicable to such
shares in accordance with the relationship number of shares to be repurchase (or
deemed repurchased) bears to the initial 800,000 Restricted Shares and (B) an
amount equal to all interest actually paid on such portion of such principal
amount through the date on which such portion of such principal amount is
repaid, and such Restricted Shares shall be immediately deemed to revert to the
Company and canceled; or (y) upon termination of the Executive's employment with
the Company under for Cause or upon voluntary termination by the Executive of
his employment other than for Good Reason, be immediately forfeited and be
immediately deemed to revert to the Company and canceled (in case of either
clause (x) or (y), without further action by the Company or the Executive).

          (iii) The Executive shall be personally liable for satisfaction of any
taxes incurred upon the vesting of the Restricted Shares or upon such earlier
date as the Executive, in his discretion, makes an election under section 83(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), with respect to
such Restricted Shares, or any portion thereof. The Company shall loan to the
Executive on a full recourse basis a sum of money equal to 50 percent of any
such tax payable as a result of such an election under Code section 83(b) with
respect to the Restricted Shares, and any such loan shall bear interest at the
rate specified by Code section 1274 and, subject to the clause (x) of the first
sentence of paragraph (ii) of this Section 4(c), shall be payable at the time
and to the extent that the Executive sells or otherwise transfers or obtains
liquidity with respect to the Restricted Shares (based on proportion of the
total number of vested Restricted Shares held by the Executive immediately prior
to such event that are so sold, transferred or liquidated) and shall be subject
to such other terms and conditions determined by the Company to be appropriate
to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

          (iv) If it shall be determined that any payment to the Executive
pursuant to this Agreement would be subject to any excise tax imposed by Code
section 4999, or any similar tax payable under any United States federal, state
or local law ("Section 280G Taxes"), then the Executive shall receive a Tax
Gross-Up Payment with respect to all such Section 280G Taxes. For purposes of
this Agreement, "Tax Gross-Up Payment" shall mean the an additional amount equal
to the amount of the Section 280G Taxes payable in respect of any amounts (other
than the Tax Gross-Up Payment) due under this Agreement.

          (v) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall occur
upon the first to occur of (x) a third party, other than Zach Lonstein, DB
Capital Investors, L.P. or an affiliate thereof ("DB Capital"), or Sandler

Company representing in excess of 50% of the aggregate voting power of the
Company or the surviving entity, (y) (A) the Control Group, in the aggregate,

diluted basis) which is less than 25% of the number shares of Common Stock of
the Company (calculated on a fully diluted basis) owned by the Control Group on
the date hereof, and (B) another person or "group" of persons (as defined
pursuant to Section13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
owning a greater percentage of the Common Stock of the Company (calculated on a
fully-diluted basis) than does the Control Group, in the aggregate, or (z) a
majority of the Board (or similar governing body) of the Company (or any
successor or surviving entity) being comprised of Directors who are not
Continuing Directors. For purposes of this Agreement, "Continuing Directors"
shall mean, with respect to any entity, as of the date of determination, any
person (x) who was a member of the Board of the Company on June 15, 2000, or (y)
who was nominated for election or elected to the Board (or similar governing
body) of such entity with the affirmative vote of a majority of the Continuing
Directors who are members of the Board (or similar governing body) of such
entity at the time of such nomination or election.

          (d) Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, the Executive
shall, in accordance with the applicable plan documents and applicable laws, be
eligible to participate in such retirement, medical, dental and other employee
benefit plans and programs and fringe benefit plans as the Company has in effect

          10. Covenants of the Executive.

          (a) During the Employment Term and, to the extent that the Executive's
employment is terminated for Cause or Disability (including, without limitation,
through the delivery by the Company of a notice of nonrenewal in accordance with
Section 3 hereof which specifically states such grounds), or the Executive
voluntarily terminates his employment other than for Good Reason, for a period
of one (1) year after such termination, (i) the Executive shall not, in any
jurisdiction world-wide, be employed by or participate in the ownership,
management, operation or control of any business of the type and character
engaged in or competitive with that conducted by the Company or any of its
affiliates and (ii) the Executive shall not solicit, in competition with the
Company, any person who is or was, at any time within the six (6) months prior
to the Executive's termination of employment with the Company, a customer of the
business conducted by the Company or any of its affiliates. During the
Employment Term and for two (2) years thereafter, the Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of others, employ,
solicit for employment or otherwise contract for the services of any employee of
the Company or any of its affiliates at the time of this Agreement or who shall
subsequently become an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or
encourage any employee or consultant of the Company or any of its affiliates to
leave the employ or service of the Company, nor shall the Executive assist or
encourage any person or entity to do any of the foregoing. For purposes of this
Agreement, (v) the scope of businesses areas within which the Executive has
agreed not to compete pursuant to clause (a)(i) of this Section 10 shall, for
any challenged activity of the Executive, be determined with reference to the
Company's activities during the Employment Term; (w) nothing contained herein
shall prevent the Executive from becoming affiliated as an officer, director or
in any other capacity with a charitable organization; (x) the Executive's
ownership of securities of five percent (5%) or less of any publicly traded
class of securities of a public company shall not be considered to be
competition with the Company; (y) the Executive's passive ownership of equity
interests in any entity (without other participation in the management or other
affairs of such entity) not exceeding 20% of the outstanding capital stock of
such entity, with respect to which (A) at the time of the initial investment,
such ownership does not violate the terms of Section 10 of this Agreement
(without reference to this clause (y)), (B) such entity engages after the date
of such initial investment in activity (the "Competing Activity") which would
cause the Executive's ownership of an equity interest in such entity to be
violative of this Section 10, and (C) after the commencement of the Competing
Activity, the Executive's ownership of equity interests in such entity (I)
continues to be passive (without other participation in the management or other
affairs of such entity) and (II) the Executive takes no affirmative action to
increase his ownership interest in such entity; and (z) the Executive's passive
ownership of equity interests in a private venture capital fund or other private
investment fund (each a "Fund") which such ownership (A) does not exceed a 20%
profits or voting interest in such Fund, and (B) does not entitle the Executive
to manage or direct, or participate in the management or directions of, the
management, business, affairs or investment decisions of such Fund (it being
understood that the Executive shall not participate in the management, business,
affairs or investment decisions of any such Fund).

          (b) During the Employment Term and thereafter, the Executive agrees to
hold in strictest confidence and to not directly or indirectly publish,
disseminate or otherwise disclose or allow to be disclosed, any "Confidential
Information" (as defined below); provided, however, that the Executive shall
have no obligation to maintain in confidence any information that is or becomes
publicly available through no fault of the Executive. "Confidential Information"
shall mean business or proprietary information (including, without limitation,
business plans, financial information and other subject matter pertaining to any
business of the Company or any of its affiliates) that is not commonly known in
the industry. Confidential Information shall also include, for example and
without limitation, confidential knowledge, data, financial information or data,
marketing techniques and material, business plans, methods and strategies
(whether or not patentable or reduced to practice), business operations and
systems, software, computer code, flow charts, pricing policies, information
concerning employees, customers and/or vendors, trade secrets, discoveries,
inventions (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice), improvements,
research, scientific engineering information, development, databases, know-how,
show-how, designs, products, compositions, original works of authorship,
prototypes, maskworks, physical materials, manufacturing processes and other
information disclosed or submitted orally, in writing, or by any other media.
The Confidential Information as set forth above may be in any form, including
but not limited to, any intangible form such as unrecorded knowledge,
information, ideas or concepts, or may be embodied in equipment or other
tangible form such as documents, drawings, photographs, computer code, software
or other printed or electronic media.

          (c) The Executive agrees that a breach of his obligations contained in
Sections 10 or 11 of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the
Company and any of its affiliates, the exact amount of which will be difficult
to ascertain and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be
inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if he breaches any of the
covenants contained in Sections 10 or 11 of this Agreement, in addition to any
other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company shall be
entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief, without a showing that
monetary damages will not provide an adequate remedy and without being required
to post a bond.

          (d) The Company and the Executive further acknowledge that the time,
scope, geographic area and other provisions of this Section 10 have been
specifically negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties and agree that all
such provisions are reasonable under the circumstances of the activities
contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any provision in this Section
10 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a time period or over too
great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other
respect, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time
for which it may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographical area as to
which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects
as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such
action.

          (e) During the Employment Term and thereafter, the Executive and the
Company and its controlled affiliates agree not to make statements or
representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing,
orally or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly,
disparage or negatively reflect upon the Company or any of its controlled
affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors,
businesses or reputations or the Executive and his reputation, respectively.

          (f) The Executive recognizes that the Company may have received, and
in the future will receive from third parties, Confidential Information that
subjects the Company to a duty to maintain the confidentiality of such
information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. The Executive
agrees that he owes the Company, during the Employment Term and thereafter, a
duty to hold all such Confidential Information in the strictest confidence;
provided, however, that the Executive shall have no obligation to maintain in
confidence any information: (i) that is or becomes publicly available through no
fault of the Executive; or (ii) that is obtained by the Executive from a third

York applicable to contracts executed and to be performed entirely within said
State. Any judicial proceeding brought against any of the parties to this
Agreement or any dispute arising out of this Agreement which is enforceable in a
court, consistent with the provisions of Section 13(f) hereof, may be brought in
the courts of the State of New York or any United States District Court located
in the Borough of Manhattan and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement,
each of the parties to this Agreement accepts the jurisdiction of said courts,
and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final and non-appealable judgment
rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. The foregoing consent to
jurisdiction shall not be deemed to confer rights on any person other than the
respective parties to this Agreement.

          (b) Agreements and Representations of the Executive. The Executive
agrees to verify any proper document required to carry out the terms of this
Agreement. The Executive represents that his performance of all the terms of
this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence Confidential
Information acquired by the Executive, and the Executive has not entered into,
and agrees that he will not enter into, any oral or written agreement in
conflict herewith.

          (c) Assignment, Binding Effect. The Executive may not assign his
interest in or delegate his duties under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Company. This Agreement is for the employment of the
Executive, personally, and for the services to be rendered by him which must be
rendered by him and no other person. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.

          (d) Construction and Severability. If any provision of this Agreement
shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired, and the parties undertake
to implement all efforts which are necessary, desirable and sufficient to amend,
supplement or substitute all and any such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with enforceable and valid provisions which would produce as nearly
as may be possible the result previously intended by the parties without
renegotiation of any material terms and conditions stipulated herein.

          (e) Entire Agreement, Modification. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof, supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral,
and may not be modified or amended in any way except in writing signed by the
parties hereto.

          (f) Duration, Survival. Notwithstanding the Employment Term hereunder,
this Agreement shall continue for so long as any obligations remain under this

survive and shall continue to be binding upon the Executive as provided in
Sections 10 and 11 of this Agreement. The covenants set forth in Sections 10 and
11 of this Agreement shall be deemed and construed as separate agreements
independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any claim
or cause of action by the Executive against the Company, whether predicated on
this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement
by the Company of any or all such covenants.

          (g) Waiver. No waiver by either party hereto of any of the
requirements imposed by this Agreement on, or any breach of any condition or
provision of this Agreement to be performed by, the other party shall be deemed
a waiver of a similar or dissimilar requirement, provision or condition of this
Agreement at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any such waiver shall be
