     as defined in Section 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act
     of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), corporation or other entity (other than the

<PAGE>

     8.  Reimbursement.  The Company shall reimburse the Executive for such

may reasonably require from time to time.

     9.  Rights on Termination.  Upon termination of this Agreement, the Company
shall pay to the Executive that portion of the Executive's Base Salary which he
earned for services performed up to the date (i) in the case of termination
pursuant to Sections 4(a) or 4(b), of the Executive's death or Permanent
Disability, (ii) in the case of the occurrence of an event specified in Section
4(c) hereof, on which such event occurred, for which he has not previously been
compensated.

     10.  Confidential Information.

          (a)  Except for and on behalf of the Company, the Executive shall keep
confidential and shall not divulge to any other person or entity, during the
term of employment or thereafter, any Confidential Information; provided,
however, that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Executive from
disclosing information (i) to parties retained to perform services for the
Company or (ii) as may be required by law. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Confidential Information" means all confidential and proprietary information of
the Company including without limitation, all customer lists, memoranda, files,
records, trade secrets, financial information and any information that the
Company treats as confidential and proprietary. "Affiliate" means any company
that is directly or indirectly controlled by the Company, or any company that is
directly or indirectly controlled by the company that directly or indirectly
controls the Company.

          (b)  All papers, books and records of every kind and description
relating to the business and affairs of the Company, whether or not prepared by
the Executive, other than personal notes prepared by or at the direction of the
Executive, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and the
Executive shall surrender them to the Company at any time upon request by the
President of the Company.

     11.  Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.  The Executive hereby agrees
that during the term of this Agreement and any extension thereof (the "Non-
Compete Period"), the Executive will not (except in the Executive's capacity as
an employee of the Company) directly or indirectly, either as an individual, on
the Executive's own account, or as an agent, employee, director, shareholder,
consultant, or otherwise, own, manage, operate, control, be or remain employed
or retained by, participate in, solicit business for, or otherwise be connected
in any manner whatsoever with the ownership, management, operation or control of
any business competitive with any business engaged in by the Company. The
Executive further agrees that during the Non-Compete Period and for one (1) year
thereafter the Executive shall not:

               (i)  solicit or induce or attempt to solicit or induce, any
     customer of the Company for which the Executive had, during the term of his
     employment, substantial

                                       4
<PAGE>

     management responsibility (A) to do business with a competitor of the
     Company or (B) not to do business with the Company; or

               (ii)  solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any
     employee of the Company or of any Affiliate for which the Executive had,
     during the term of his employment, substantial management responsibility to
     terminate his or her relationship with the Company.

     12.  Enforcement.  The Executive recognizes that the provisions of
Paragraphs 10 and 11 are vitally important to the continuing welfare of the
Company and that money damages constitute a totally inadequate remedy for any
violation thereof. Accordingly, in the event of any such violation by the
Executive, the Company, in addition to any other remedies it may have, shall
have the right to institute and maintain a proceeding to compel specific
performance thereof or to issue an injunction restraining any action by the
Executive in violation of Paragraphs 10 or 11.

     13.  Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, representatives, successors and assigns.

Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and mailed by certified or
