including,  but  not  limited  to  lifecycle  services,  enterprise  consulting,
infrastructure  solutions,  staffing and recruiting, outsourcing and co-sourcing
services;  and

          (iv)    any  other business activity which Company, its parent, or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates subsequently become involved in after the date

     This  one  (1)  year  non-competition  provision  commencing on the date of
Employee's  termination of employment shall not be applicable if the Employee is
terminated  by  the  Company  without  cause  pursuant to Section 10(a)(v) or if
Company  does  not renew this Agreement after the expiration of the initial term

non-competition  provision  shall  be applicable in any of such instances in the
event Company elects in writing to compensate Employee pursuant to Section 11 of
this  Agreement.

     Employee  has carefully read and has given careful consideration to all the
terms  and  conditions  of this Agreement and agrees that they are necessary for
the  reasonable  and  proper protection of the Company's business.  The Employee
acknowledges  that  the  Company  has  entered  into  this  Agreement because of
Employee's  promise  that  he  will  abide  by and be bound by each of the terms
contained in this Section 8.  The Employee agrees that Company shall be entitled
to  injunctive  relief  to  enforce  these  terms in addition to all other legal
remedies.  Employee  acknowledges  that  each and every one of the terms of this
provision  is  reasonable  in  all  respects  including  their  subject  matter,
duration, scope and the geographical area embraced herein and waives any and all
right  to  compensation  and/or  benefits  herein  mentioned  or  referred to if
Employee  violates  the  provisions  of  this  Section  8.

     Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Company  acknowledges  that  Employee has
agreed to be available by telephone to his current employer, Affiliated Computer
Services  ("ACS"),  for  up to a maximum of thirty (30) days from his separation
from  ACS  in order to assist with matters that he was involved in prior to such
separation  and  such  transition  related  activities shall not be construed or
deemed  to  be  a  violation  or  breach  of  the restrictive covenant set forth
hereinabove  during such thirty (30) day period.  Employee represents to Company
that  he  shall  not  be  compensated  by  ACS for any of the transition related
services  described  in  this  section.

     9.     Non-Disclosure  and  Assignment  of  Confidential  Information.  The
            --------------------------------------------------------------
Employee  acknowledges  that  the  Company's  trade secrets and confidential and
proprietary  information,  including  without  limitation:

          (a)     unpublished  information  concerning  the  Company's:

               (i)     research  activities  and  plans,
               (ii)    marketing  or  sales  plans,
               (iii)   pricing  or  pricing  strategies,
               (iv)    operational  techniques,
               (v)     customer  and  supplier  lists,  and
               (vi)    strategic  plans;

          (b)     unpublished  financial  information,  including  unpublished
information  concerning  revenues,  profits  and  profit  margins;

          (c)     internal  confidential  manuals;  and

          (d)     any  "material  inside information" as such phrase is used for
purposes  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended;

all  constitute  valuable,  special  and  unique  proprietary  and  trade secret
information  of  the  Company.  In recognition of this fact, the Employee agrees
that  the  Employee  will not disclose any such trade secrets or confidential or
proprietary information (except (i) information which becomes publicly available
without  violation  of  this Employment Agreement, (ii) information of which the
Employee did not know and should not have known was disclosed to the Employee in
violation  of

                                      - 5 -
<PAGE>
any  other person's confidentiality obligation, and (iii) disclosure required in
connection  with any legal process), nor shall the Employee make use of any such
information  for  the  benefit  of  any  person, firm, operation or other entity
except  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  or  affiliates.  The  Employee's
obligation  to  keep  all  of  such  information confidential shall be in effect
during  and  for  a  period  of  five  (5)  years  after  the termination of his
employment; provided, however, that the Employee will keep confidential and will
not  disclose  any  trade  secret  or similar information protected under law as
intangible  property  (subject  to  the  same  exceptions  set  forth  in  the
parenthetical  clause  above)  for  so  long  as  such  protection  under law is
extended.

     10.     Termination.
             -----------

     (a)     The Employee's employment with the Company may be terminated at any
time  as  follows:

          (i)     By  the  Employee  at  his  discretion,  upon ninety (90) days
written  notice  to  Company;

          (ii)    By  Employee's  death;

          (iii)   By  Employee's  physical  or  mental  disability which renders
Employee  unable  to  perform  his  duties  hereunder.

          (iv)    By  the  Company, for cause upon three (3) days written notice
to  Employee.  For  purposes  of  this  Agreement,  the  term "cause" shall mean
termination  upon:  (i)  the  failure  by  Employee to substantially perform his
duties  with  the  Company;  (ii)  the  engaging by Employee in conduct which is
materially  injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, including but not
limited  to  any  material  misrepresentation  related to the performance of his
duties;  (iii)  the  conviction of Employee of a felony or other crime involving
theft or fraud, (iv) Employee's neglect or misconduct in carrying out his duties
hereunder  resulting,  in  either  case,  in  material  harm  to the Company;(v)
insubordination;(vi)  dereliction  of  duties  or  (vii)  any material breach by
Employee  of  this  Agreement.

          (v)     By  the  Company at its discretion, without cause, upon ninety
(90)  days  written  notice  to  Employee.

     (b)     Compensation  upon  Termination

          (i)     In the event Employee's employment hereunder is terminated for
cause,  Employee  shall  receive  his base compensation through the date of such
termination  and  Employee  shall  be entitled to his accrued benefits under the
terms of the plans, policies and procedures of the Company.

          (ii)    In  the  event  of  termination of employment, the Employee or
his  estate,  in the event of death, shall be entitled to his annual base salary
and  other  benefits  provided  hereunder  to  the  date of his termination.  If
applicable,  Employee  or  his  estate  shall be entitled to receive any bonuses
accrued  to  the date of such termination of employment and any vested incentive
compensation  that  may  be  deemed  due  and  undisputed  by  Company.

          (iii)   In  the  event Employee terminates this Agreement prior to the
end  of  the  initial  term  or  during  any renewal term hereof, Employee shall
forfeit  and waive his right to any compensation provided to him hereunder which
is  not  deemed  due and undisputed, earned and/or vested as of the date of such
termination.  So  long  as Employee has not otherwise breached this Agreement or
is  not  otherwise in default under the terms hereof, Employee shall be entitled
to  receive his base salary through his termination date, along with any bonuses
accrued  as  of  date of such termination of employment and any vested incentive
compensation  that may be deemed due and undisputed as of such termination date.

          (iv)    In  the  event  the  Company  terminates Employee's employment
hereunder  without cause pursuant to paragraph 10(a)(v), Employee shall continue
to  receive his base annual salary compensation, then in effect, for a period of
six  (6)  months  commencing  on  the  date that Company gives written notice to
Employee  of  its  intent to terminate his employment without cause, pursuant to
Section  10(a)(v)  above,  provided  he  is not, during such time, employed by a
competitor  or  otherwise in breach of this Agreement.  Payment of any such base
compensation  shall  be made in the ordinary course of the Company's business in
accordance  with  its  usual  and  customary  payroll  practices.

     11.     Payments  to  Extend  Covenant  Not to Compete of Employee.  In the
             ----------------------------------------------------------
event  Company  does not renew this Agreement upon the expiration of the initial
term of this Agreement or any renewal term, Company shall have the option to pay
Employee  an  amount equal to his base annual salary that was in effect prior to
such  non-renewal  of  his Employment Agreement in twelve (12) consecutive equal
monthly  installments  commencing thirty (30) days after the date of termination
of  employment  in  consideration  for Employee not competing with Company for a
period  of twelve (12) months from the date of the termination of his employment
for  any  of  the  reasons  set  forth  above,  as  applicable.

     12.     Disability.  In  the  event  that  Employee  becomes  temporarily
             ----------
disabled  and/or totally and permanently disabled, physically or mentally, which
renders  him  unable to perform his duties hereunder, Employee shall receive one
hundred  percent (100%) of his base annual salary (in effect at the time of such
disability)  for  a  period  of  one (1) year following the initial date of such
disability  (offset  by  any  payments  to  the  Employee  received  pursuant to
disability  benefit  plans,  if  any, maintained by the Company.)  Such payments
shall  be  payable  in  twelve  consecutive equal monthly installments and shall
commence  thirty  (30)  days  after  the determination by the physicians of such
disability  as  set  forth  below.

     For  purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be deemed to be temporarily
disabled and/or totally and permanently disabled if attested to by two qualified
physicians,  (one to be selected by Company and the other by Employee) competent
to  give  opinions in the area of the disabled Employee's physical and/or mental
condition.  If the two physicians disagree, they shall select a third physician,
whose  opinion  shall  control.  Employee  shall  be  deemed  to  be temporarily
disabled  and/or totally and permanently disabled if he shall become disabled as
a  result of any medically determinable impairment of mind or body which renders
it  impossible for such Employee to perform satisfactorily his duties hereunder,
and  the  qualified  physician(s) referred to above certify that such disability
does,  in fact, exist.  The opinion of the qualified physician(s) shall be given
by  such  physician(s), in writing directed to the Company and to Employee.  The
physician(s) decision shall include the date that disability began, if possible,
and  the  12th  month  of  such  disability,  if possible.  The decision of such
physician(s)  shall  be  final  and  conclusive and the cost of such examination
shall  be  paid  by  Company.

     13.     Severability.  In  case  any  one  (1) or more of the provisions or
             ------------
part  of  a  provision  contained in this Agreement shall be held to be invalid,
illegal  or  unenforceable  in  any  respect,  such  invalidity,  illegality  or
unenforceability  shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of
this  Agreement.  In  such  a  situation,  this  Agreement shall be reformed and
construed  as  if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of a
provision,  had never been contained herein, and such provision or part shall be
reformed  so  that it will be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent
possible.

     14.     Governing Law, Jurisdiction and  Venue.  This  Agreement  shall  be

assets  of  the  Company  or  the  business with respect to which the duties and
responsibilities  of  Employee  are principally related, to expressly assume and
agree  to  perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that

hereinbefore  defined  and  any  successor  to  its  business  and/or  assets as

             ---------------
