     7.   The Employee represents and warrants to the Company as follows:  (i)

any way the performance of his obligations hereunder; and (ii) he has not

benefit, any confidential information or trade secrets of any prior employer or
principal, unless and until such confidential information and trade secrets have

disclosure is permitted by any agreement with such prior employer or principal.

     8.   The Employee agrees that during the term of his employment with the
Company he will not: (a) directly or indirectly, either as principal, agent,

distributed, licensed or sold by the Company at any time during the Employee's

specified period of employment, such employment being at the will of both the
Company and the Employee unless otherwise agreed in writing; and the voluntary
or involuntary termination of the Employee's employment shall not affect the
obligations of the Employee and the Company hereunder.

     10.  The Employee acknowledges that should he breach any of the covenants
set forth in this letter, monetary damages would not provide the Company with an
adequate remedy for such breach, and he hereby consents in addition to any
monetary award to the entry of an order in any court of competent jurisdiction
enjoining any activity constituting such a breach and requiring specific
performance of his obligations hereunder.

     11.  If any portion or provision of this letter agreement should be

then this letter agreement is intended to and shall be valid and enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law.

The Employee is or will be employed by the Company in a position of trust and
confidence and in a capacity in which he has or will become familiar with the
Company's confidential information and trade secrets; (v) In the course of his
employment or through the use of Company facilities or resources, the Employee
may have or may in the future have contributed to the development of Company
trade secrets and confidential business information; and (vi) The Company and

     1.    The Employee will make full and prompt written disclosure to the
Company of all inventions, innovations, improvements, modifications, know-how,
discoveries and developments (the "Developments"), whether or not patentable or
copyrightable, which are conceived, made or discovered by or under the direction

those made or discovered during normal working hours, on the premises of the
Company, or using Company resources, and including Developments suggested by any

Employee hereby assigns all rights in the Developments to Company.
<PAGE>

     2.    All Developments devised, made, developed or perfected after
termination of the Employee's employment are within the provisions of Paragraph
1 if conceived in whole or material part during the period of employment or with
the use of Company resources or facilities.

     3.    At the request and expense of the Company but without charge to the
Company, the Employee will do all acts and things as may be necessary to confirm
and vest the entire right, title and interest in the Developments in the Company
and secure to the Company full protection of the same, including without

Employee will also assign to the Company any and all copyrights and reproduction
rights to any written material prepared by the Employee in connection with his
employment.

     4.    All Developments furnished by the Employee to the Company will be the
Employee's own and original creation except for materials in the public domain
and will not to the best of his knowledge or belief violate or infringe upon any
right, patent, copyright, trademark or right of privacy, or constitute libel or
slander against or violate any other rights of any person, firm or corporation.

     5.    During the Employee's period of employment with the Company and after
the voluntary or involuntary termination of such employment, whether initiated
by the Employee or the Company, the Employee will hold in the strictest
confidence and will not, without the express written authority of the Company,
directly or indirectly disclose to others, disseminate, use or publish, other
than use in the ordinary course of the Company's business, any proprietary,
secret or confidential information of the Company (which for the purposes hereof
shall include without limitation the Developments, information designated by the
Company as "proprietary," "secret," or "confidential" (or similarly designated)
and information which is not generally known to those outside of the Company),

     Additionally, during the Employee's period of employment with the Company
and after the voluntary or involuntary termination of such employment, whether
initiated by the Employee or the Company, the Employee will hold in the
strictest confidence and will not, without the express written authority of the
Company's executive staff, directly or indirectly disclose to others,
disseminate, use or publish, other than use in the ordinary course of the
employee's duties for the Company, any proprietary, secret or confidential
information of the Company (which for the purposes hereof shall include without

"confidential" (or similarly designated) and personnel or financial information
which is not generally known to the Company's staff), including but not limited

any reason, he shall not take from, and will promptly return to the Company, any
and all Confidential Information and any writings or documents whatever or
reproductions thereof and any and all other information of a proprietary, secret
or confidential nature which relate in any way to the Company's operations,
business, assets, research, development, and any of the other items covered by
paragraph 5 above then in Employee's possession or control.

     7.    The Employee represents and warrants to the Company as follows: (i)
he is not under any obligation to any person which is inconsistent or in
conflict with this letter agreement or which would prevent, limit or impair in
any way the performance of his obligations hereunder; and (ii) he has not
disclosed and will not disclose to the Company, nor use for the Company's
benefit, any confidential information or trade secrets of any prior employer or
principal, unless and until such confidential information and trade secrets have
become public knowledge without the Employee's participation, or unless such
disclosure is permitted by any agreement with such prior employer or principal.

     8.    The Employee agrees that during the term of his employment with the
Company he will not: (a) directly or indirectly, either as principal, agent,

issued shares of any publicly traded company which is competitive with the
business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a business will be deemed
competitive or in competition with the Company if it involves the research,
development, production, manufacture, marketing, distribution, licensing, or
sale of any product which is or is intended to be directly or indirectly
competitive with or similar to products being researched, developed, produced,
manufactured, marketed, distributed, licensed or sold by the Company at any time
during the Employee's employment.

voluntary or involuntary termination of the Employee's employment shall not
affect the obligations of the Employee and the Company hereunder.

     10.   The Employee acknowledges that should he breach any of the covenants
set forth in this letter, monetary damages would not provide the Company with an
adequate remedy for such breach, and he hereby consents in addition to any
monetary award to the entry of an order in any court of competent jurisdiction
enjoining any activity constituting such a breach and requiring specific
performance of his obligations hereunder.
<PAGE>

     11.   If any portion or provision of this letter agreement should be
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
then this letter agreement is intended to and shall be valid and enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law.

     12.   Nothing contained in this letter agreement shall refer to or affect
any condition of employment or other item not specifically mentioned herein.
This letter agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and shall inure to the benefit of and be

assigns of the Employee and upon the legal representatives, successors and
assigns of the Company. The Employee agrees to jurisdiction and venue in the
federal and state courts within the Commonwealth of Virginia for all disputes
and enforcement actions arising under this Agreement.
