          (a) The employment of the Employee hereunder shall terminate in the

     compensation immediately prior to such termination and such guaranteed
     severance pay shall be paid to the Employee in the manner and at the time
     or times that such base compensation would otherwise have been paid to the
     Employee. Following the twelve-month guaranteed severance pay period, if
     the Employee does not become employed, the Company shall pay the Employee
     additional supplemental severance pay in accordance with the next sentence.
     During the six-month period following the conclusion of Company payment to
     the Employee of twelve months of guaranteed severance pay, the Company
     shall pay the Employee additional supplemental severance pay at a rate
     equal to the Employee's base compensation immediately prior to such
     termination and such additional supplemental severance pay shall be paid to
     the Employee in the manner and at the time or times that such base
     compensation would otherwise have been paid to the Employee.

     10. Representations and Warranties of the Employee as to Conflicts. The

the Company does not and will not violate any provision of law or fiduciary duty
by which he is bound and will not conflict with or result in a breach of any
agreement or instrument to which he is a party or by which he is bound, and the
Employee agrees that he will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
directors, officers and employees against any claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including attorneys' fees) which may be incurred, including amounts
paid in settlement, by any of them in connection with any claim based upon or
related to a breach of the Employee's representation and warranty set forth in
this Paragraph. In the event of any claim based upon or related to a breach of
the Employee's representation and warranty set forth in this Paragraph 10, the
Company will give prompt notice thereof, in writing, to the Employee and the
Employee shall have the right to defend such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company.

     shall direct;

          (c) Assign to the Company all of his right, title and interest in such
     Proprietary Property, and to applications for United States and/or foreign

          (d) Deliver promptly to the Company, without charge to the Company but
     at its expense, such written instruments, and do such other acts, as may be
     necessary, in the opinion of the Company, to obtain and maintain United

     Information.

          (c) Upon the termination of his employment with the Company, all
     documents, records, notebooks and similar repositories of or containing
     Confidential Information, including any copies thereof, then in the

     others, will be left with or immediately returned to the Company by the
     Employee.

     13. Non-Compete. The Employee agrees that, during the term of his
employment with the Company and also for one year following the Employee's
termination or departure from the Company he will not, without the written
approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, under any circumstances
whatsoever, own, manage, operate, engage in, control or participate in the
ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner
with, whether as an individual, partner, stockholder, director, officer,
principal, agent, employee or consultant, or in any other relation or capacity
whatsoever, any Competing Organization, and will not in any such manner compete

which is or might be in competition with any business of the Company.

     14. Non-Interference. The Employee will not, for a period of one (1) year

or indirectly, employ, hire, solicit or, in any manner, encourage any employee
of the Company to leave the employ of the Company.

     15. Injunctive Relief. In addition to any other rights or remedies
available to the Company as a result of the breach of the Employee's obligations
hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to enforcement of such obligations by
an injunction or a decree of specific performance from a court with appropriate
jurisdiction and in the event that the Company is successful in any suit or
proceeding brought or instituted by the Company to enforce any of the provisions
of this Agreement or on account of any damages sustained by the Company by
reason of the violation by the Employee of any of the terms and/or provisions of
this Agreement to be performed by the Employee, the Employee agrees to pay to
the Company all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the Company.

     16. Withholding. The Employee hereby agrees that he will make such
arrangements as the Company may deem necessary to discharge any obligations of
the Company to withhold Federal, state or local

taxes imposed upon the Company in respect of this Agreement.

     17. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable and
if any part of any provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable or any
separate covenant contained in any provision is held to be unduly restrictive
and void by a final decision of any court or other tribunal of competent
jurisdiction, such part, covenant or provision shall be construed to give it
maximum lawful validity and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall
nonetheless remain in full force and effect.

     18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the attached "Schedule of
Benefits" contains the entire agreement of the parties relative to the subject
matter hereof, superseding and terminating all prior agreements or
understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties hereto relative to
the subject matter hereof, and this Agreement may not be extended, amended,
modified or supplemented without the written consent of the parties hereto.

     19. Waivers. Any waiver of the performance of the terms or provisions of
this Agreement shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the party
against whom such waiver is to be enforced. The failure of either party to
exercise any of his or its rights under this Agreement or to require the
performance of any term or provision of this Agreement, or the waiver by either
party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent a subsequent exercise
or enforcement of such rights or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of
the same or any other term or provision of this Agreement.

     20. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when personally
delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return

in the manner provided herein for giving notice.

pursuant to a merger or acquisition of all or substantially all of its assets,

not assign, transfer, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this
Agreement, or any of his rights hereunder (whether by operation of law or
otherwise), except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, and any such
attempted delegation or disposition shall be null and void and without effect.
