hereunder.  In  addition,  notwithstanding  the  expiry or  termination  of this
Agreement  pursuant  to this  Section  5 or  otherwise,  Employee's  rights  and
obligations  under  Sections  7 through 12  inclusive  of this  Agreement  shall
survive such  termination or expiration of this Agreement in accordance with the
terms of such Sections.

                  (a) Death or Disability.  This Agreement  shall  automatically

                  (b)  Termination  with Notice by Either Party.  The Company or
Employee may  terminate  this  Agreement for any reason or no reason upon thirty

pay  Employee  severance  compensation,  in a lump  sum  payable  on the date of
termination,  calculated  at the  rate  of  Salary  in  effect  as of  the  date
immediately  preceding the date of termination  and the cost of premiums for any
Company  sponsored  insurance  policy (or the cash equivalent) for the longer of
(i)  thirty-six  months  (36)  months  or  (ii)  the  period  from  the  date of
termination through the Expiration Date.

                  (c) Termination for Good Cause.  "Good Cause" means any one or
more of the following:

(1) a continuing  material breach or continuing  material default by Employee of
the material terms of this Agreement (except any such breach or default which is
caused by the physical  disability or death of Employee)  which remains  uncured
after twenty (20) days following  Employee's receipt from the Company of written
notice specifying such breach or default;

(2) gross  negligence  or  willful  misfeasance  by  Employee  or the  breach of
fiduciary  duty  by  Employee  (if  affirmatively  determined  by the  Board  of
Directors  of the  Company)  in the  performance  of his  duties as an  employee
hereunder;

(3) the  commission  by Employee of an act of fraud,  embezzlement  or any other
crime in connection with Employee's duties; or

                  In the event of a termination for Good Cause, the Company will
pay  Employee  the Base  Salary  earned  and  expenses  reimbursable  under this
Agreement  incurred through the date of Employee's  termination,  or twenty-four
(24) months from the effective date of this Agreement,  whichever is longer,  in
one lump sum.  Employee shall continue to receive the same health  benefits that
he was receiving prior to such termination for twenty-four (24) months following

         6. Change in Control and Other Grounds Entitling Employee to Terminate.
"Change in Control" shall mean (a) any sale,  lease,  exchange or other transfer
(in one transaction or a series of transactions) of all or substantially  all of
the assets of the Company; (b) individuals who, as of the date hereof, consitute
the entire Board of Directors of the Company (the "Incumbant  Directors")  cease
for any reason to  constitute  at least a majority of the Board of  Directors of
such company, provided that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the
date hereof whose  election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the
then  Incumbant  Directors  shall  be,  for  the  purposes  of  this  provision,
considered  as  though  such  individual  were an  incumbant  director;  (c) any
consolidation  or merger or other  business  combination of the Company with any
other  entity where the  stockholders  of the Company  immediately  prior to the
consolidation  or merger or other business  combination  would not,  immediately
after the  consolidation or merger or other business  combination,  beneficially
own,  directly or  indirectly,  shares  representing  fifty percent (50%) of the
combined voting power of all of the outstanding securities of the entity issuing
cash or securities in the consolidation or merger or other business  combination
(or its ultimate parent  corporation,  if any); (d) a third person,  including a
person defined in Section  (13)(d)(3) of the Securites  Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), becomes the benefical owner (as defined in Section
(13)(d)(3)  of the  Exchange  Act)  directly or  indirectly  of securites of the
Company  representing  fifty  percent (50%) or more of the total number of votes
that may be cast for the election of the  directors  of the Company;  or (e) the
Board of  Directors  of the Company by vote of a majority of all the  directors,
adopts a  resolution  to the effect that a "Change in Control"  has occurred for
purposes of this Agreement.

                  (a) A Change in Control in the Company resulting in a material
adverse change in duties,  responsibilities or role, or reporting  relationships
of Employee will be treated as a termination by the Company  without Good Cause.
If such  termination  without Good Cause  occurs  following a Change in Control,
Employee will be entitled to elect to terminate his employment  hereunder and to
receive his  severance  compensation  and other rights and benefits  pursuant to
Section  5(a) as if he were  terminated  by the Company  without  Good Cause and
expenses  reimbursable  under  this  Agreement  incurred  through  the  date  of
Employee's termination, in one lump sum.

                  (b) Upon a  Change  in  Control,  100% of all  unvested  stock
options and/or restricted shares held by Employee shall immediately vest.

                  (c)  Further,   any  of  the  following  shall   constitute  a
termination  by the Company  without Good Cause  entitling  Employee to elect to
terminate his employment hereunder and to receive his severance compensation and
other rights and benefits  pursuant to Section 5(a) as if he were  terminated by
the Company  without Good Cause:  (i) the  relocation of Employee by the Company
more  than 50 miles  from  East  Hanover,  New  Jersey;  (ii)  there  shall be a
continuing  material breach or continuing material default by the Company of the
material  terms of this Agreement  which remains  uncured after twenty (20) days
following the Company's  receipt from Employee of written notice specifying such
breach or  default;  or (iii) if Employee  shall no longer hold the  position of
President and Chief Executive  Officer of the Company unless there is Good Cause
for the removal of Employee from such position.

         7.  Confidentiality.  Employee shall keep  confidential,  except as the
Company may  otherwise  consent in writing,  and not disclose or make any use of
except for the benefit of the  Company,  at any time  either  during the term of
this  Agreement  or  therafter,  any  trade  secrets,  knowledge,  data or other
information  of the  Company  relating  to the  products,  processes,  know how,
technical data, designs,  formulas,  test data, customer lists,  business plans,
marketing plans and strategies,  and product pricing strategies or other subject
matter  pertaining  to any  business  of  the  Company  or  any of its  clients,
customers,  consultants,  licensees or  affiliates  which  Employee may produce,
obtain or  otherwise  learn of during the course of  Employee's  performance  of
services (collectively "Confidential Information").  Employee shall not deliver,
reproduce, or in any way allow any such Confidential Information to be delivered
to or used by any third parties  without the specific  direction or consent of a
duly  authorized  representative  of the Company,  except in connection with the
dischage of his duties  thereunder.  The terms of this  paragraph  shall survive
termination of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
Employee shall not have any obligation to keep confidential any information (and
the  term  "Confidential  Information"  shall  not  be  deemed  to  include  any
information)  that (a) is generally  available to the public through no fault or
wrongful act of Employee in breach of the terms hereof,  (b) is  disseminated by
the Company or any of its affiliates publicly without requiring confidentiality,
(c) is required by law or  regulation  to be disclosed  by  Employee,  or (d) is
required to be disclosed by Employee to any government  agency or person to whom
disclosure is required by judicial or administrative process.

         8.  Return  of  Confidential  Material.  Upon the  completion  or other
termination  of Employee's  services for the Company,  Employee  shall  promptly
surrender  and  deliver  to  the  Company  all  records,  materials,  equipment,
drawings,  documents,  notes and books and data of any nature  pertaining to any
invention,  trade  secret  or  Confidential  Information  of the  Company  or to
Employee's  services,  and  Employee  will  not take  with  him any  description
containing or pertaining to any Confidential  Information,  knowledge or data of
the  Company  which  Employee  may  produce  or obtain  during the course of his
services.  The  terms  of  this  paragraph  shall  survive  termination  of this
Agreement.

         9.  Competition.  Employee  will  not do any of the  following,  either
directly or indirectly, during Employee's employment with the Company and during
the period of one (1) year after  Employee's  cessation of  employment  with the
Company,  anywhere in the world. In the event that Employee  improperly competes
with the  Company in  violation  of this  Section,  the period  during  which he
engages in such competition  shall not be counted in determining the duration of
the one (1) year non-compete restriction:

                  (a) For  purposes of this  Agreement,  "Competitive  Activity"
shall  mean any  activity  relating  to, in respect  of or in  connection  with,
directly  or  indirectly,   the  data  warehousing  and  business   intelligence
consulting business.

                  (b) Employee shall not own, manage, operate,  control, consult
for, be an officer or director  of, work for, or be employed in any  capacity by
any company or any other business,  entity, agency or organization which engages
in Competitive  Activity;  provided,  however, that during his employment by the
Company and during his non-compete period following  departure from the Company,

                                       5
<PAGE>

Employee  may serve as a director  or  consultant  of an entity that is either a
Company  licensee,  or,  for  non-licensees,  in such  capacity  as the Board of
Directors of the Company has granted him written permission.

                  (c)  Employee  shall  not  solicit  or  perform   services  in
connection with any Competitive  Activity for any prior or current  customers of
the Company; or

                  (d) Employee  shall not solicit for  employment  or employ any
then current employees employed by the Company without the Company's consent.

                  Employee  and the  Company  agree that the phrase  "Employee's
cessation of employment with the Company" as used in this  Agreement,  refers to
any  separation  from  his  employment  at the  Company  either  voluntarily  or
involuntarily,  either with cause or without cause, or whether the separation is
at the  behest of the  Company or  Employee.  Nothing  in this  Agreement  shall
preclude   Employee  from  employment  at  a   not-for-profit   or  governmental
institution,  provided that no for-profit business involved data warehousing and
business intelligence consulting, directly or indirectly, derives a benefit from
Employee's employment.

         10.      Other Obligations.

                  (a) Employee  acknowledges  that the Company from time to time
may have agreements with other persons which impose  obligations or restrictions
on the  Company  made  during the course of work  thereunder  or  regarding  the
confidential nature of such work. Employee will be bound by all such obligations
and restrictions and will take all action necessary to discharge the obligations
of the Company thereunder.

                  (b) All of Employee's  obligations  under this Agreement shall
be subject to any applicable agreements with, and policies issued by the Company
to which Employee is subject,  that are generally applicable to the five highest
paid executives of the Company.

         11. Trade Secrets of Others.  Employee  represents that his performance
of all the terms of this  Agreement as employee to the Company does not and will
not  breach  any  agreement  to  keep  in  confidence  proprietary  information,
knowledge or data acquired by Employee in  confidence or in trust,  and Employee
will not disclose to the Company,  or allow the Company to use, any confidential
or proprietary  information or material belonging to any other person or entity.
Employee will not enter into any agreement,  either written or oral, which is in
conflict with this Agreement.

         12.  Injunctive  Relief.  Employee  acknowledges  that  any  breach  or
attempted  breach by Employee of paragraphs 7 through 12 of this Agreement shall
cause the Company  irreparable harm for which any adequate  monetary remedy does
not exist.  Accordingly,  in the event of any such breach or threatened  breach,
the Company shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief, without the necessity
of posting a bond or other surety, restraining such breach or threatened breach.

         13.  Modification.   This  Agreement  may  not  be  changed,  modified,
released,  discharged,  abandoned,  or otherwise  amended,  in whole or in part,
except by an instrument in writing,  signed by Employee and by the Company.  Any

                                       6
<PAGE>

subsequent  change or changes in  Employee's  relationship  with the  Company or
Employee's  compensation  shall  not  affect  the  validity  or  scope  of  this
Agreement.

         14. Entire Agreement.  Employee acknowledges receipt of this Agreement,
and agrees that with respect to the subject  matter  thereof,  it is  Employee's
entire  agreement  with the Company,  superseding  any previous  oral or written
communications,  representations,  understandings with the Company or any office
or representative  thereof.  Each party to the Agreement  acknowledges  that, in
executing this Agreement,  such party has had the opportunity to seek the advice
of independent  legal counsel,  and has read and understood all of the terms and
provisions of the Agreement.

         15. Severability.  In the event that any paragraph or provision of this
Agreement  shall be held to be illegal or  unenforceable,  the entire  Agreement
shall not fall on account thereof,  but shall otherwise remain in full force and
effect,  and such paragraph or provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent
permissible.

         16.  Successors  and  Assigns.  This  Agreement  shall be binding  upon
Employee's heirs,  executors,  administrators or other legal representatives and
is for the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.

         17.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of  Delaware  except for any  conflicts  of law rules  thereof  that might
direct the application of the substantive law of another state.

         18.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in counterparts and by
facsimile  transmission,  each of which shall be deemed an original  and both of
which shall together constitute one agreement.

         19. No Waiver.  No waiver by either  party hereto of any breach of this
Agreement by the other party hereto shall  constitute a waiver of any subsequent
breach.

         20. Notice.  Any notice hereby  required or permitted to be given shall

Employee's  choice at a monthly leased price not to exceed  $2,000.  The Company
agrees to replace the  automobile  with a new one at Employee's  request no more
often  than once  every  two (2)  years.  The  Company  will pay all  automobile
operating expenses incurred by Employee in the performance of Employee's Company
duties.  The Company will procure and maintain in force an automobile  liability
policy for the automobile  with  coverage,  including  Employee,  in the minimum
amount of $1,000,000 combined single limit on bodily injury and property damage.

            (g) Employee shall be entitled to  reimbursement  for all reasonable

of Directors of the Company to substantiate such expenses.

      5. Term;  Termination.  This  Agreement and the status and  obligations of
Employee thereunder as an employee of the Company (except as provided for below)
shall cease and terminate effective upon the close of business on March 25, 2009
(the "Expiration Date") unless earlier terminated  pursuant to this Section 5 or
further  extended  by the  parties  hereto in writing in a separate  instrument;
provided,  however,  that upon such date said  termination  shall not affect any
rights  that may have been  specifically  granted  to  Employee  by the Board of
Directors of the Company or a designated  committee  thereof  pursuant to any of
the Company's retirement plans,  supplementary  retirement plans, profit sharing

                                       2

and  savings  plans,  healthcare,  401(k) or any other  employee  benefit  plans
sponsored by the Company,  it being  understood  that no such rights are granted
hereunder.  In  addition,  notwithstanding  the  expiry or  termination  of this
Agreement  pursuant  to this  Section  5 or  otherwise,  Employee's  rights  and
obligations  under  Sections  7 through 12  inclusive  of this  Agreement  shall
survive such  termination or expiration of this Agreement in accordance with the
terms of such Sections.

            (a)  Death  or  Disability.   This  Agreement  shall   automatically
termiante upon the death or disability of Employee and all his rights hereunder,
including the rights to receive  compensation and benefits,  except as otherwise
required by law.

            (b) Termination with Notice by Either Party. The Company or Employee
may terminate  this  Agreement for any reason or no reason upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to the other.  In case of termination by the Company,  with
the exception of Good Cause (as herein defined),  the Company shall pay Employee
severance  compensation,  in a lump  sum  payable  on the  date of  termination,
calculated at the rate of Salary in effect as of the date immediately  preceding
the date of  termination  and the cost of  premiums  for any  Company  sponsored
insurance  policy  (or the cash  equivalent)  for the  longer of (i)  thirty-six
months (36) months or (ii) the period from the date of  termination  through the
Expiration Date.

            (c) Termination  for Good Cause.  "Good Cause" means any one or more
of the following:

      (1) a  continuing  material  breach  or  continuing  material  default  by
Employee  of the  material  terms of this  Agreement  (except any such breach or
default which is caused by the physical  disability or death of Employee)  which
remains  uncured after twenty (20) days  following  Employee's  receipt from the
Company of written notice specifying such breach or default;

      (2) gross  negligence or willful  misfeasance by Employee or the breach of
fiduciary  duty  by  Employee  (if  affirmatively  determined  by the  Board  of
Directors  of the  Company)  in the  performance  of his  duties as an  employee
hereunder;

      (3) the  commission  by Employee of an act of fraud,  embezzlement  or any
other crime in connection with Employee's duties; or

      (4)  conviction  of  Employee  of a felony or any other  crime  that would
materially interfere with the performance of Employee's duties hereunder.

            In the event of a termination  for Good Cause,  the Company will pay
Employee the Base Salary earned and expenses  reimbursable  under this Agreement
incurred through the date of Employee's termination,  or twenty-four (24) months
from the effective date of this Agreement, whichever is longer, in one lump sum.
Employee  shall  continue  to  receive  the  same  health  benefits  that he was
receiving prior to such  termination for twenty-four  (24) months following such
termination.

      6. Change in Control and Other  Grounds  Entitling  Employee to Terminate.
"Change in Control" shall mean (a) any sale,  lease,  exchange or other transfer
(in one transaction or a series of transactions) of all or substantially  all of
the assets of the Company; (b) individuals who, as of the date hereof, consitute
the entire Board of Directors of the Company (the "Incumbant  Directors")  cease
for any reason to  constitute  at least a majority of the Board of  Directors of
such company, provided that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the
date hereof whose  election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the
then  Incumbant  Directors  shall  be,  for  the  purposes  of  this  provision,
considered  as  though  such  individual  were an  incumbant  director;  (c) any
consolidation  or merger or other  business  combination of the Company with any
other  entity where the  stockholders  of the Company  immediately  prior to the
consolidation  or merger or other business  combination  would not,  immediately
after the  consolidation or merger or other business  combination,  beneficially
own,  directly or  indirectly,  shares  representing  fifty percent (50%) of the
combined voting power of all of the outstanding securities of the entity issuing
cash or securities in the consolidation or merger or other business  combination
(or its ultimate parent  corporation,  if any); (d) a third person,  including a
person defined in Section  (13)(d)(3) of the Securites  Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), becomes the benefical owner (as defined in Section
(13)(d)(3)  of the  Exchange  Act)  directly or  indirectly  of securites of the
Company  representing  fifty  percent (50%) or more of the total number of votes
that may be cast for the election of the  directors  of the Company;  or (e) the
Board of  Directors  of the Company by vote of a majority of all the  directors,
adopts a  resolution  to the effect that a "Change in Control"  has occurred for
purposes of this Agreement.

            (a) A Change in  Control  in the  Company  resulting  in a  material
adverse change in duties,  responsibilities or role, or reporting  relationships
of Employee will be treated as a termination by the Company  without Good Cause.
If such  termination  without Good Cause  occurs  following a Change in Control,
Employee will be entitled to elect to terminate his employment  hereunder and to
receive his  severance  compensation  and other rights and benefits  pursuant to
Section  5(a) as if he were  terminated  by the Company  without  Good Cause and
expenses  reimbursable  under  this  Agreement  incurred  through  the  date  of
Employee's termination, in one lump sum.

            (b) Upon a Change in Control,  100% of all  unvested  stock  options
and/or restricted shares held by Employee shall immediately vest.

            (c) Further,  any of the following shall constitute a termination by
the Company  without Good Cause  entitling  Employee to elect to  terminate  his
employment hereunder and to receive his severance  compensation and other rights
and benefits  pursuant to Section 5(a) as if he were  terminated  by the Company
without Good Cause:  (i) the  relocation of Employee by the Company more than 50
miles from East Hanover,  New Jersey;  (ii) there shall be a continuing material
breach or continuing  material  default by the Company of the material  terms of
this  Agreement  which  remains  uncured  after twenty (20) days  following  the
Company's  receipt from  Employee of written  notice  specifying  such breach or
default;  or (iii) if Employee  shall no longer hold the  position of  Executive
Vice President and Chief  Operating  Officer of the Company unless there is Good
Cause for the removal of Employee from such position.

      7.  Confidentiality.  Employee  shall  keep  confidential,  except  as the
Company may  otherwise  consent in writing,  and not disclose or make any use of
except for the benefit of the  Company,  at any time  either  during the term of
this  Agreement  or  therafter,  any  trade  secrets,  knowledge,  data or other
information  of the  Company  relating  to the  products,  processes,  know how,
technical data, designs,  formulas,  test data, customer lists,  business plans,
marketing plans and strategies,  and product pricing strategies or other subject
matter  pertaining  to any  business  of  the  Company  or  any of its  clients,
customers,  consultants,  licensees or  affiliates  which  Employee may produce,
obtain or  otherwise  learn of during the course of  Employee's  performance  of
services (collectively "Confidential Information").  Employee shall not deliver,
reproduce, or in any way allow any such Confidential Information to be delivered
to or used by any third parties  without the specific  direction or consent of a
duly  authorized  representative  of the Company,  except in connection with the
dischage of his duties  thereunder.  The terms of this  paragraph  shall survive
termination of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
Employee shall not have any obligation to keep confidential any information (and
the  term  "Confidential  Information"  shall  not  be  deemed  to  include  any
information)  that (a) is generally  available to the public through no fault or
wrongful act of Employee in breach of the terms hereof,  (b) is  disseminated by
the Company or any of its affiliates publicly without requiring confidentiality,
(c) is required by law or  regulation  to be disclosed  by  Employee,  or (d) is
required to be disclosed by Employee to any government  agency or person to whom
disclosure is required by judicial or administrative process.

         8.  Return  of  Confidential  Material.  Upon the  completion  or other
termination  of Employee's  services for the Company,  Employee  shall  promptly
surrender  and  deliver  to  the  Company  all  records,  materials,  equipment,
drawings,  documents,  notes and books and data of any nature  pertaining to any
invention,  trade  secret  or  Confidential  Information  of the  Company  or to
Employee's  services,  and  Employee  will  not take  with  him any  description
containing or pertaining to any Confidential  Information,  knowledge or data of
the  Company  which  Employee  may  produce  or obtain  during the course of his
services.  The  terms  of  this  paragraph  shall  survive  termination  of this
Agreement.

         9.  Competition.  Employee  will  not do any of the  following,  either
directly or indirectly, during Employee's employment with the Company and during
the period of one (1) year after  Employee's  cessation of  employment  with the
Company,  anywhere in the world. In the event that Employee  improperly competes
with the  Company in  violation  of this  Section,  the period  during  which he
engages in such competition  shall not be counted in determining the duration of
the one (1) year non-compete restriction:

                  (a) For  purposes of this  Agreement,  "Competitive  Activity"
shall  mean any  activity  relating  to, in respect  of or in  connection  with,
directly  or  indirectly,   the  data  warehousing  and  business   intelligence
consulting business.

                  (b) Employee shall not own, manage, operate,  control, consult
for, be an officer or director  of, work for, or be employed in any  capacity by
any company or any other business,  entity, agency or organization which engages
in Competitive  Activity;  provided,  however, that during his employment by the
Company and during his non-compete period following departure from the Company,

                                       5
<PAGE>

Employee  may serve as a director  or  consultant  of an entity that is either a
Company  licensee,  or,  for  non-licensees,  in such  capacity  as the Board of
Directors of the Company has granted him written permission.

                  (c)  Employee  shall  not  solicit  or  perform   services  in
connection with any Competitive  Activity for any prior or current  customers of
the Company; or

                  (d) Employee  shall not solicit for  employment  or employ any
then current employees employed by the Company without the Company's consent.

                  Employee  and the  Company  agree that the phrase  "Employee's
cessation of employment with the Company" as used in this  Agreement,  refers to
any  separation  from  his  employment  at the  Company  either  voluntarily  or
involuntarily,  either with cause or without cause, or whether the separation is
at the  behest of the  Company or  Employee.  Nothing  in this  Agreement  shall
preclude   Employee  from  employment  at  a   not-for-profit   or  governmental
institution,  provided that no for-profit business involved data warehousing and
business intelligence consulting, directly or indirectly, derives a benefit from
Employee's employment.

         10.      Other Obligations.

                  (a) Employee  acknowledges  that the Company from time to time
may have agreements with other persons which impose  obligations or restrictions
on the  Company  made  during the course of work  thereunder  or  regarding  the
confidential nature of such work. Employee will be bound by all such obligations
and restrictions and will take all action necessary to discharge the obligations
of the Company thereunder.

                  (b) All of Employee's  obligations  under this Agreement shall
be subject to any applicable agreements with, and policies issued by the Company
to which Employee is subject,  that are generally applicable to the five highest
paid executives of the Company.

         11. Trade Secrets of Others.  Employee  represents that his performance
of all the terms of this  Agreement as employee to the Company does not and will
not  breach  any  agreement  to  keep  in  confidence  proprietary  information,
knowledge or data acquired by Employee in  confidence or in trust,  and Employee
will not disclose to the Company,  or allow the Company to use, any confidential
or proprietary  information or material belonging to any other person or entity.
Employee will not enter into any agreement,  either written or oral, which is in
conflict with this Agreement.

         12.  Injunctive  Relief.  Employee  acknowledges  that  any  breach  or
attempted  breach by Employee of paragraphs 7 through 12 of this Agreement shall
cause the Company  irreparable harm for which any adequate  monetary remedy does
not exist.  Accordingly,  in the event of any such breach or threatened  breach,
the Company shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief, without the necessity
of posting a bond or other surety, restraining such breach or threatened breach.

         13.  Modification.   This  Agreement  may  not  be  changed,  modified,
released,  discharged,  abandoned,  or otherwise  amended,  in whole or in part,
except by an instrument in writing,  signed by Employee and by the Company.  Any
subsequent  change or changes in  Employee's  relationship  with the  Company or
Employee's  compensation  shall  not  affect  the  validity  or  scope  of  this
Agreement.

         14. Entire Agreement.  Employee acknowledges receipt of this Agreement,
and agrees that with respect to the subject  matter  thereof,  it is  Employee's
entire  agreement  with the Company,  superseding  any previous  oral or written
communications,  representations,  understandings with the Company or any office
or representative  thereof.  Each party to the Agreement  acknowledges  that, in
executing this Agreement,  such party has had the opportunity to seek the advice
of independent  legal counsel,  and has read and understood all of the terms and
provisions of the Agreement.

         15. Severability.  In the event that any paragraph or provision of this
Agreement  shall be held to be illegal or  unenforceable,  the entire  Agreement
shall not fall on account thereof,  but shall otherwise remain in full force and
effect,  and such paragraph or provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent
permissible.

         16.  Successors  and  Assigns.  This  Agreement  shall be binding  upon
Employee's heirs,  executors,  administrators or other legal representatives and
is for the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.

         17.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of  Delaware  except for any  conflicts  of law rules  thereof  that might
direct the application of the substantive law of another state.

         18.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in counterparts and by
facsimile  transmission,  each of which shall be deemed an original  and both of
which shall together constitute one agreement.

         19. No Waiver.  No waiver by either  party hereto of any breach of this
Agreement by the other party hereto shall  constitute a waiver of any subsequent
breach.
