 Executive shall be entitled to a payment or payments under Section 3.3 and at such time the Executive is a
 specified employee of the Company within the meaning of Section
 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
 Code) (or any successor provision), to the extent the amount payable
 pursuant to Section 3.3(a) exceeds the limits set forth in Section
 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations (or any successor
 provision), no payment in excess of those limits shall be made until the
 earliest to occur of the following (the earliest to occur of such dates being
 hereafter referred to as the End Date) unless any other provision under
 Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, would
 allow any other payment or portion of payment without triggering the
 penalties under Section 409A of the Code: (a) the date that is six (6) months
 after the date Employees employment is terminated within the meaning set
 forth in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Income Tax Regulations; and (b) the date
 of the Employees death. Except as provided in the following sentence, any
 amounts deferred under this Section 3.3(e) shall be due and payable no later
 than the fifth business day after the End Date. If the Company determines,
 based upon written advice of counsel, that any such payment, if made during
 the calendar year that includes the date Employees employment is terminated,
 would not be deductible in whole or in part by reason of Code Section 162(m),
 such payment shall be made on January 2 of the following calendar year (or
 such later date as may be required under the preceding proviso if the
 Employee is a specified employee).

The Executive
 agrees that during the Term of the Executives employment with the Company,
 the Executive shall not directly or indirectly, engage in competition with
 the Company or any subsidiaries, or own or control any interest in, or act as
 director, officer or employee of, or consultant to, any firm, corporation or
 institution directly engaged in competition with the Company or any of its
 subsidiaries; provided that the Company or one of its subsidiaries is
 actively engaged in such business at the time the Executives employment by
 the Company is terminated; and provided that the foregoing shall not prevent
 the Executive from holding shares as a passive investor in a publicly held
 company which do not constitute more than 5% of the outstanding shares of
 such company. In the event that the Executive (i) voluntarily terminates his
 employment, (including at any time on or after the End Date) other than
 provided for in this agreement, or (ii) is terminated by the Company for
 Cause, the Executive agrees to not compete in the E-Learning marketplace
 until one year from the date of such termination.
