                  life insurance  plans,  and qualified stock option plans which
                  are  at least  as  advantageous  as  those  that  are  offered
                  to  other  VISUALMED  executives and key management employees.

         (e)      Qualified  Stock Option Plan.  Within  ninety  (90) days from
                  B.S.'s first date of employment as per this agreement, a Stock
                  Option  Plan will  be  signed  between the  parties. VISUALMED
                  agrees  to offer  such Plan  to B.S. in order for VISUALMED to
                  attract and keep B.S. as an executive  employee,  and to allow
                  B.S. to benefit from the long term growth and profitability of
                  VISUALMED.

                  Such Plan  shall  contain  mutually  acceptable  criteria  and
                  objectives for B.S. to earn options to purchase  common shares
                  of  VISUALMED.  The Plan  shall  contain,  as a  minimum,  the
                  following characteristics.

                  B.S. shall be granted,  upon meeting the  applicable criteria,
                  at least  on three (3)  occasions within  the first  three (3)
                  years of the  Plan,  provided  B.S. is still  employed on each
                  date,  an irrevocable option to purchase,  each time,  for the
                  Option Price, a number of shares equal to:

                  an additional  percentage of one half of one percent (0.5%) of
                  the total fully diluted amount of outstanding  shares,  at the
                  time when the option is  granted.  The period of time  between
                  each two of the  occasions  mentioned  above  shall not exceed
                  twelve (12) months.

                  VISUALMED shall make available the appropriate resources, both
                  human  and   material, for  B.S. to   be  able  to  reach  its
                  objective.

                  The Option  Price for the  exercise of options  shall mean the
                  Market  Value of the  shares  on the date of the  grant of the
                  options.

                  The  Market  Value of the shares  shall  mean the fair  market
                  value of the shares of  VISUALMED as a going  concern  without
                  any discount for minority interest.

                  The  options may  be exercised  by B.S.  during the sixty (60)
                  months following  the grant of each option as mentioned above,
                  provided  B.S. is still  employed on  such date.  Should  B.S.
                  cease  to be  employed by  VISUALMED,  B.S.  shall be  able to
                  exercise the options during the shortest  of the two following
                  periods:

-    thirty-six  (36) months after B.S.'s  employment has ceased;
     or
-    the remainder of the the sixty (60)  month period  stated above.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  however, if B.S. is terminated
                  Without Serious Reason, as mentioned hereafter,  B.S. shall be
                  entitled  immediately upon such termination,  and for the next
                  ensuing three (3) year period,  to exercise any part or all of
                  said options with respect to the stock  covered by the option,
                  whether exercisable as per the previous paragraphs or not.

                  In the event of any subdivision, change or reclassification of
                  VISUALMED shares into a greater number of shares,  at any time
                  before the exercise of B.S.'s options to purchase shares, B.S.
                  shall be  delivered,  upon the  exercise  of an option  hereby
                  granted,  with such additional  number of shares as would have
                  resulted from such subdivision, change or reclassification had
                  the  exercise  of the  option  been  prior to the date of such
                  subdivision, change or reclassification.

                  In the event of any further issue of VISUALMED shares,  before
                  or after the  exercise of B.S.'s  options to purchase  shares,
                  B.S. shall be delivered with such additional number of shares,
                  or  options,  as the case may be,  as  necessary  for B.S.  to
                  detain a number of shares which corresponds to the percentages
                  mentioned above.

                  B.S.  shall  be able to sell the Shares  acquired  through the
                  exercise  of  the   options  described  above,   as  mentioned
                  hereafter :

-   should  VISUALMED  have  become a public  company, be listed on a recognized
    stock exchange,  through  an IPO,  an RTO,  or other similar mechanism, then
    B.S. shall be  able  to  sell  the  Shares on  the regular  market,  subject
    to  applicable laws and regulations; or

-   should  VISUALMED have remained a private company, B.S. shall be entitled to
    require,  by  written  notice,  a new company  (NEWCO) to purchase  and pay,
    within  thirty (30) days, the Shares for the Market value on the date of the
    reception  by  VISUALMED of the  notice.  NEWCO is to be  formed,  within 90
    days  of the  signature  of  this  agreement,  and  owned  either  by  those
    shareholders  holding  (as a whole) a  majority  of  VISUALMED  shares or by
    VISUALMED  itself.  VISUALMED agrees to finance NEWCO to the extent required
    to pay for the Shares,  and to be jointly  and severally  liable for NEWCO's
    obligations  as provided herein.

                  Except as otherwise  specifically  provided in this Agreement,
                  the rights and  obligations  of B.S.  and  VISUALMED  shall be
                  governed by the terms and  conditions of the Stock Option Plan
                  and/or Shareholder's Agreement to be executed by the parties.

         (f)      Vacation.  B.S. shall be entitled to paid vacation  during the
                  Term of four (4) weeks  (twenty  (20) working days) per annum.
                  In the event of a  termination  of B.S.'s  employment  for any
                  reason  other than those set forth in Section 5 (a) inclusive,
                  B.S. (or his estate)  may, at this option, take or be paid for
                  all  vacation accruing  up to the  date of  termination.  B.S.
                  shall also be entitled to all paid holidays given by VISUALMED
                  to its  executives  and key management employees.

5.       TERMINATION

         (a)      VISUALMED may terminate B.S.'s  employment  hereunder,  in the
                  event  that  B.S.  (i) dies  during  the  Term,  (ii)  becomes
                  disabled (as hereinafter  defined) for a consecutive period of
                  four (4) months during the Term, (iii) shall willfully fail to
                  comply with any of the material terms of this Agreement,  (iv)
                  shall  willfully  fail to perform  his duties  hereunder,  (v)
                  shall willfully  disregard policy directions from the Board of
                  Directors of  VISUALMED  which are not  inconsistent  with the
                  provisions of this Agreement, or (vi) for Serious Reason.

                           1.       For purposes of this  Agreement,  B.S. shall
                                    be deemed to have become disabled when he is
                                    deemed  disabled  under  the  terms  of  any
                                    disability  income insurance policy covering
                                    him.  In the  absence  of such a  disability
                                    policy   (or  if  there  is  a   conflicting
                                    definition  in two (2) or more  policies  of
                                    disability  insurance),  B.S.'s inability to
                                    regularly  perform his regular  duties shall
                                    constitute   his   disability  for  purposes
                                    hereof.

                           2.       For  purposes  of  this  Agreement  and  its
                                    termination, the term "Serious Reason" shall
                                    include and be limited to (i) B.S.'s  fraud,
                                    misappropriation,  or embezzlement,  or (ii)
                                    B.S.'s conviction of a criminal act directly
                                    related to his  functions at  VISUALMED,  or
                                    (iii)   B.S.'s   material   breach   of  the
                                    provisions   of  Section  6  or  7  of  this
                                    Agreement.

                           3.       VISUALMED   may   only   terminate    B.S.'s
                                    employment for any of the reasons enumerated
                                    in  5  (a)   (iii),   (iv),   (v)  or   (vi)
                                    hereinabove,  by first  giving  B.S. a prior
                                    notice  of five  (5)  days  (or the  minimal
                                    delay  provided  by law)  during  which B.S.
                                    shall   have  the  right  to   remedy   said
                                    situation and thereby avoid  termination  of
                                    the Agreement. Failure of B.S. to remedy the
                                    situation  indicated  in the  prior  notice,
                                    shall  then  give  VISUALMED  the  right  to
                                    terminate this Agreement.

         (b)      VISUALMED   shall  not  be  permitted   to  terminate   B.S.'s
                  employment   for  any  reason   other  than  those  stated  in
                  Sub-Section  5(a).  Any  attempt  to  terminate  other than as
                  provided  in  Sub-Section  5(a) above  shall be deemed to be a
                  termination "Without Serious Reason".

         (c)      VISUALMED  may terminate   this agreement  at  its  discretion
                  Without Serious  Reason,  only by giving  B.S.  four (4) weeks
                  prior notice of its decision  to dismiss.  VISUALMED  may,  at
                  any  time  during the  notice  period,  choose to  immediately
                  discharge  B.S.,  but  in this  case  B.S.  shall be  entitled
                  to  receive  and shall  be paid  all  amounts  which  he would
                  otherwise  earn  during the notice period.

         (d)      In the  event  of a  termination  Without  Serious  Reason  by
                  VISUALMED, it shall pay B.S. an amount equal to his gross base
                  annual salary (at the time of  notification  of  termination).
                  All appropriate  withholding as may be required by law will be
                  deducted  from the amount so  calculated.  The payment of said
                  amount  shall be made within seven (7) days after the last day
                  B.S. is employed by  VISUALMED.  The bonus for the fiscal year
                  in which  termination  takes place,  if any,  will be paid pro
                  rata to the number of days worked in the fiscal year.

         (e)      VISUALMED's  obligation to make the aforesaid  payments  shall
                  not  be reduced or  affected if  B.S. has secured  alternative
                  employment.

         (f)      In the  event  of a  termination  Without  Serious  Reason  by
                  VISUALMED,  in  addition  to any  amounts  payable or benefits
                  provided for pursuant to Sub-Sections 7(c) or (d) hereof, B.S.
                  shall be  entitled to receive  the  compensation  set forth in
                  Section 4 and all his  medical and health  insurance  benefits
                  for one year.

         (g)      B.S.  shall  have  the  right to  terminate  this agreement if
                  Constructively  Dismissed,  by giving VISUALMED four (4) weeks
                  prior  notice of  his decision to quit.  B.S.  shall then have
                  the right to receive  compensation  according to the terms and
                  conditions  of  Sub-Sections 5 (c),  (d),  (e)and (f) of  this
                  Agreement and  his  employment  shall  be  deemed to have been
                  terminated  Without  Serious  Reason.  For  purposes  of  this
                  Agreement,     B.S.  shall   be   considered   to   have  been
                  "Constructively Dismissed" if:

i.       there is a material and adverse  diminution on an accumulated  basis of
         his duties,  authority,  position, compensation, benefits, or title; or

ii.      VISUALMED breaches any of the material terms of this Agreement.

         (h)      B.S.  has the  right to  terminate  this  agreement in case  a
                  Change in Control of VISUALMED  occurs, through acquisition or
                  merger, and  to receive compensation  according  to  the terms
                  and conditions of Section 5 of this Agreement.

6.       PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

         (a)      B.S. acknowledges that he has been provided with   information
                  about  VISUALMED,  and   his  employment  by  VISUALMED  will,
                  throughout  the Term,  bring him into close  contact with many
                  confidential  affairs of VISUALMED and its clients,  including
                  information  about   costs,   profits,   markets,   equipment,
                  customers,  sales, products, key personnel,  pricing policies,

                  affairs  and   methods,  plans  for  future  developments  and
                  other  information  not  readily   available  to  the  public.
                  B.S.  further  acknowledges  that the business of VISUALMED is
                  conducted  throughout  the  world,  that VISUALMED competes in

                  which  are or could  be located  in nearly  every  part of the
                  world and  that  the  nature of  the  services,  position  and
                  expertise  of B.S.  are  such that he is capable of  competing
                  with  VISUALMED  from nearly every  location in the world.  In
                  recognition of the foregoing, B.S. covenants and agrees:

                                    matters of VISUALMED  and not disclose  such
                                    matters  to  anyone  other  than  VISUALMED,
                                    either during or after the Term, except with
                                    VISUALMED's prior written consent, or except
                                    as required by law or regulation;

                           ii.      That  he will  not  make  use  of  any  such
                                    confidential   matter for  his  own purposes
                                    or  the   benefit  of   anyone  other   than
                                    VISUALMED; and

                           iii.     That he will  deliver  promptly to VISUALMED
                                    on termination of this Agreement,  or at any

                                    reports  and  other  confidential  documents
                                    (and all  copies  thereof)  relating  to the
                                    business  of  VISUALMED,  which  he may then
                                    possess or have under his control.

         (b)      The foregoing  nondisclosure  requirements  shall not apply to

         (a)      In  recognition  of the  considerations  described in  Section
                  4 and 5 hereof  B.S. covenants  and  agrees  that,  during the
                  Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter,  he will not

                  services  to  any person,  firm or corporation  engaged in any
                  business  or  activity   competitive  with   the  business  of
                  VISUALMED,  (ii) engage directly in any such  business for his
                  own  account,  or  (iii)  become  interested  directly  in any

                  creditor,  director,  officer,  principal,   agent,  employee,
                  trustee,  consultant,  advisor  or in  any other  relationship
                  or  capacity; provided, however,  that (A) the  provisions  of
                  clause  (i)  shall  not   be  deemed  to  preclude  B.S.  from
                  employment by a  corporation, some of the  activities of which
                  are  competitive  with the business of VISUALMED, if B.S. does
                  not participate  directly or indirectly,  in  such competitive
                  business  activity,  and (B) nothing contained in this Section
                  7 shall be deemed to prohibit B.S.from  acquiring or  holding,
                  solely  as  an  investment, publicly  traded securities of any
                  corporation  so  long  as  such  securities  do  not,  in  the
                  aggregate, constitute more than five percent (5%) of any class
                  or series of outstanding securities of such corporation.

         (b)      In  addition,  for a period of one (1) year after B.S.  leaves
                  the employ of  VISUALMED,  B.S.  shall not  solicit  business,
                  accept  business  from,  or deal with any client,  customer or
                  account of VISUALMED in connection with any business  activity
                  which is competitive with the business of VISUALMED, nor shall
                  he solicit for employment any person who was or is an employee
                  of  VISUALMED  at any time prior to or during the term of this

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

         If B.S.  commits a breach of any of the  provisions  of Sections 6 or 7
hereof, such violation shall be deemed to be grounds for termination pursuant to
Section  5(a)  hereof  and  VISUALMED  shall  have (i) the  right  to have  such
provisions  specifically  enforced by any court of  competent  jurisdiction,  it
being  acknowledged and agreed that any such breach may cause irreparable injury
to VISUALMED and that money damages would not constitute an adequate remedy.

                  independent  of the others and shall be in addition to and not
                  in  lieu  of  any  other  rights  and  remedies  available  to
                  VISUALMED,  at law or in equity.  Should any of the  covenants
                  contained  in Sections 6 or 7, or any part of any of them,  be
                  hereafter   construed   or   adjudicated   to  be  invalid  or
                  unenforceable,  the same shall not affect the remainder of the
                  covenant,  covenants,  rights or remedies which shall be given
                  full effect  without  regard to the  portion of the  Agreement
                  that was declared invalid or unenforceable.

         (b)      The parties  intend to and do hereby  confer  jurisdiction  to
                  enforce  the  covenants  contained  in Sections 6 or 7 and the
                  remedies  enumerated in Section 8 upon the courts of any state
                  of the United States and any other  governmental  jurisdiction
                  within the geographical scope of such covenants.

         (c)      If any of the  covenants  contained in Sections 6 or 7 is held
                  to be invalid or unenforceable because of the duration of such
                  provision or the area covered thereby,  the parties agree that
                  the court  making such  determination  shall have the power to
                  reduce the duration  and/or area of such  provision and in its
                  reduced form said provision shall then be enforceable.

         (d)      No such  holding  of  invalidity  or  unenforceability  in one
                  jurisdiction  shall bar or in any way affect VISUALMED's right
                  to the relief provided in Section 8 or otherwise in the courts
                  of any other  state or  jurisdiction  within the  geographical
                  scope of such  covenants  as to breaches of such  covenants in
                  such other respective states or jurisdictions,  such covenants
                  being,   for  this   purpose,   severable   into  diverse  and
                  independent covenants.
