                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

        This Indemnification Agreement is made as of ____________, 2000, by and
among EPS Solutions Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and
_____________ ("INDEMNITEE"), a director and/or an officer of the Company.

        A. The Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly
qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve as officers and directors of
the Company and to indemnify them so as to provide them with the maximum
protection permitted by law.

        B. The protection available from any insurance that the Company may
carry may not be adequate and Indemnitee may not be willing to serve as a
director and/or an officer without adequate protection.

        The Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

        1. DEFINITIONS. The following terms, as used herein, have the following
meaning:

           1.1 "AFFILIATE" means, with respect to any Person, any other Person
which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with such Person or any Affiliate of such Person. Without limiting the
foregoing, (i) an Affiliate of any corporation includes any officer, director or
owner of 10% or more of the voting power or equity interests of such
corporation, or (ii) an Affiliate of any individual includes any partner or
immediate family member of such individual or the estate of such individual, and
(iii) an Affiliate of any partnership, limited liability company, trust or joint
venture includes any partner, member, trustee or co-venturer of such
partnership, limited liability company, trust or joint venture, or any
beneficiary or owner having 10% or more interest in the equity, property or
profits or 10% or more of the voting power of such partnership, trust or joint
venture.

           1.2 "AGREEMENT" means this Indemnification Agreement, as the same may
be amended from time to time hereafter.

           1.3 "CHANGE IN CONTROL" means, and will be deemed to have occurred
if:

               (A) Any person, entity or group within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"EXCHANGE ACT") becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of either the
then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or the combined voting
power or economic rights of the outstanding equity securities of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, provided that, for
these purposes, any shares owned beneficially by Excluded Persons will not be
counted toward such 50% threshold. "EXCLUDED PERSONS" means any employee benefit
plan of the Company or its subsidiaries that acquires beneficial ownership of
voting securities of the Company, or any

the Board of the Company (the "INCUMBENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS") cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of the Company, provided
that any individual who becomes a director after the Effective Date whose
election, or nomination for election by stockholders, is approved by a vote of
at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board of
Directors shall be considered to be a member of the Incumbent Board of Directors
unless that individual was nominated or elected by any person, entity or group
(as defined above) (other than any Excluded Person or Excluded Persons) having
the power to exercise, through beneficial ownership, voting agreement and/or
proxy, thirty percent (30%) or more of either the outstanding shares of common
stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the outstanding securities
of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, in which
case that individual shall not be considered to be a member of the Incumbent
Board of Directors unless such individual's election or nomination for election
by the Company's shareholders is approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board of Directors.

           1.4 "PERSON" means any individual, partnership, limited liability
company, corporation, joint venture, trust, estate, or other entity.

           1.5 "REVIEWING PARTY" means any person or persons appointed by the
Company or its board to review the appropriateness of any provision of indemnity
to Indemnitee.

           1.6 "SUBSIDIARY" of an entity means any other entity of which more
than 50% of the voting power and/or equity interest is owned, directly or
indirectly, by such first entity.

        2. INDEMNIFICATION.

           2.1 Third Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee
if Indemnitee is or was a party or witness or other participant in, or is
threatened to be made a party or witness or other participant in, any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than action by or in the right
of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company) by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or
was serving at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another Person, and/or by reason of any
action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while acting in Indemnitee's
capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company or any other Person at the request of the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by Indemnitee (including without limitation attorneys' and experts' fees and
costs), and all liabilities, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, and taxes
actually incurred by Indemnitee, and amounts paid in settlement (if such
settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld) by Indemnitee, in connection with such action, suit,
proceeding, settlement, or adjudication or appeal thereof, if

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company (or, in the case of
actions or omissions involving an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, in the best interests of the participants and beneficiaries of
such plan), and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful.

           2.2 Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall
indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or witness or other
participant in, or is threatened to be made a party or witness or other
participant in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by or in the right of
the Company or any Subsidiary to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary of
the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Person, and/or
by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while acting in
Indemnitee's capacity as a director or an officer, employee or agent of the
Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or any other Person at the request of the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, against all expenses (including
without limitation attorneys' and experts' fees and costs), actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action, suit, proceeding, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a
manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders.

           2.3 Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall, at Indemnitee's
discretion, pay directly or advance to Indemnitee all expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with (a) the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of any action, suit or proceeding referenced in Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof
or for which Indemnitee is entitled to indemnity under the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation or bylaws or applicable law; (b) any action brought by
Indemnitee for indemnification or payment of expenses by the Company under this
Agreement or the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws or applicable
law; or (c) recovery under any directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee is
ultimately determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advance expense
payment, or insurance recovery, as the case may be. Indemnitee hereby undertakes
to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall
ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Company as authorized hereby or that such indemnification is not otherwise
permitted by applicable law. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by
the Company to Indemnitee within ten (10) days following delivery of a written
request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company.

           2.4 Mandatory Payment of Expenses. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to
in Section 2.1 or 2.2 or the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
including without limitation dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be
indemnified against expenses (including without limitation

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

attorneys' and experts' fees and costs) actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection therewith.

           2.5 Enforcing the Agreement. If Indemnitee properly makes a claim for
indemnification or an advance of expenses which is payable pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, and that claim is not paid by the Company, or on its behalf,
within ten days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the
Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring an action against the Company to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim and if successful in whole or in part,
the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also all expenses actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with prosecuting such claim.

           2.6 Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the
Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall
do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the
execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring
suit to enforce such rights.

        3. EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE.

           3.1 Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a
condition precedent to Indemnitee's right to be indemnified under this
Agreement, give the Company notice in the manner set forth in Section 7.2 as
soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which
indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. In addition,
Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation (not
involving direct expenditures or payments by Indemnitee) as it may reasonably
require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.

           3.2 Notice to Insurers. At the time of the receipt of a notice of a
claim pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, the Company shall give prompt notice of
such action, suit or proceeding to any insurers under applicable policies of
insurance in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective
policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable actions
to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable
as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

           3.3 Selection of Counsel. If the Company is obligated hereunder to
pay the expenses of any proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company shall be
entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by
Indemnitee in Indemnitee's discretion, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of
written notice of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice, approval
of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company,
the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees
of any separate counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the
same proceeding, except that if (i) the employment of separate counsel by
Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the
Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (iii) the Company
shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such
proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the
expense of the

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

Company (subject to the provisions of this Agreement). Nothing herein will
prohibit Indemnitee from engaging separate counsel at Indemnitee's expense.

           3.4 Burden of Proof. In connection with any determination, by a
Reviewing Party or otherwise, as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be
indemnified hereunder the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish
that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

           3.5 No Presumptions. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that
Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the Company or that Indemnitee had
reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. In addition,
neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination as to
whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any
particular belief, nor an actual determination by a Reviewing Party that
Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief,
prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a
judicial determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable
law shall be a defense to Indemnitee's claim or create a presumption that
Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any
particular belief.

        4. ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS; SCOPE; NON-EXCLUSIVITY.

           4.1 Application. This Agreement shall be deemed applicable to all
actual or alleged actions or omissions by Indemnitee during any and all periods
of time (whether before or after the date hereof) that Indemnitee was, is, or
shall be serving as a director or officer of the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company or, at the request of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another Person.

           4.2 Scope. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest
extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not
specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or by statute. In the event
of any changes, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law,
statute, or rule which expand the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a
director or officer, such changes shall be within the purview of Indemnitee's
rights and the Company's obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any
change in any applicable law, statute, or rule which narrows the right of a
Delaware corporation to indemnify a director or officer, such changes, except to
the extent otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this
Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights and
obligations hereunder.

           4.3 Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement
shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, its bylaws, any agreement, any vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, the applicable law, or otherwise. The
indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee
for actions or omissions occurring while serving in an indemnified capacity

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

even though Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity, or may have
ceased to be employed, at the time of any action, suit or other covered
proceeding.

           4.4 Legal Limits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Indemnitee is not entitled pursuant to this Agreement to any indemnity or
payment of expenses not permitted under applicable law, and the Company shall
comply with all procedures required under applicable law to determine the
permissibility under applicable law of payments to Indemnitee hereunder.

           4.5 Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under this
Agreement only to partial indemnification, but not to the total amount of
expenses, liabilities, losses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement,
the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for that portion to which
Indemnitee is entitled.

           4.6 Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no
cause of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against
Indemnitee, Indemnitee's spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal
representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of
such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be
extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal
action within such two-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter
period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such
shorter period shall govern.

           4.7 Change in Control. If there is a Change in Control of the Company
(other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the
Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change
in Control) then with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the
rights of Indemnitee to payments under this Agreement or the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws or applicable law, the Company shall seek
legal advice and any determination whether indemnification is proper in the
circumstances only from, and any Reviewing Party shall only be, legal counsel
that has not provided services to Indemnitee or the Company or any Affiliate of
either of them within the previous two years, selected by Indemnitee and
approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the
Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent the Indemnitee would be
permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The Company agrees to pay the
reasonable fees of the legal counsel referred to above and to indemnify fully
such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims,
liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its
engagement pursuant hereto.

           4.8 Operating Company Indemnification. If Enterprise Profit Solutions
Corporation (the "OPERATING COMPANY") is obligated to indemnify Indemnitee
pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement, or the Operating Company's Certificate
of Incorporation or bylaws, or applicable law, the Company will be jointly and
severally liable with the Operating Company to perform all such indemnity
obligations of the Operating Company.

        5. LIABILITY INSURANCE. The Company shall, from time to time, make a
good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to
obtain and maintain

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

a policy or policies of insurance providing directors and officers with coverage
for losses from errors or omissions, and to insure the Company's performance of
its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Among other
considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance
coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage. In all such policies
of liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured and covered in
such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are
accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company's directors and officers.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or
maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such
insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance
are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the coverage
provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an
insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance
maintained by a parent or Subsidiary of the Company.

        6. EXCEPTIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement for the following:

           (a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses
to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought
voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, counterclaim or crossclaim
unless said proceedings or claims were authorized by the board of directors of
the Company.

           (b) Improper Personal Benefit. To indemnify Indemnitee against
liability for any transactions from which Indemnitee, or any Affiliate of
Indemnitee, derived an improper personal benefit, including, but not limited to,
self-dealing or usurpation of a corporate opportunity.

           (c) Dishonesty. To indemnify Indemnitee if a judgment or other final
adjudication adverse to Indemnitee establishes that Indemnitee committed acts of
deliberate dishonesty, fraud, or illegality, which acts were material to the
cause of action so adjudicated.

           (d) Insured Claims; Paid Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses
or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including but not limited to, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which
have been paid directly to Indemnitee (i) by an insurance carrier under a policy
of liability insurance maintained by the Company, or (ii) otherwise by any other
means.

           (e) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for an
accounting of profits in fact realized from the purchase and sale of securities
within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or any similar successor statute.

        7. MISCELLANEOUS.

           7.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns, including without limitation any direct or
indirect successor by purchase, merger,

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

consolidation, or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets the Company, spouses, heirs, executors, legal representatives and
assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have no right or
power to voluntarily assign or transfer any rights granted to Indemnitee, or
obligations imposed upon the Company, by or pursuant to this Agreement. Further,
the rights of the Indemnitee hereunder shall in no event accrue to the benefit
of, or be enforceable by, any judgment creditor or other involuntary transferee
of the Indemnitee.

           7.2 Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) if
mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, properly
addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth below, or to such other
address as may be furnished in writing to Indemnitee by the Company or to the

severable. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated or held
unenforceable in any respect on any ground by any court of competent
jurisdiction, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full
extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have
been invalidated or held unenforceable, and the balance of this Agreement not so
invalidated in that jurisdiction, and this entire Agreement in other
jurisdictions in which no part of this Agreement has been invalidated or held

           7.6 Arbitration.

           (a) (i) Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement shall be solely and finally settled by arbitration in Orange County,
California administered by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") in
accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules as then in effect (the
"RULES"), except to the extent such Rules vary from the following provisions.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the parties hereto may seek provisional
remedies in courts of appropriate jurisdiction and such request shall not be
deemed a waiver of the right to compel arbitration of a dispute hereunder.

               (ii) If any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
this Agreement also arises out of or relates to the employment of Indemnitee by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the provisions of this Agreement
governing dispute resolution shall govern resolution of such controversy or
claim, but if such controversy or claim also involves material issues arising
under any stock purchase agreement between Indemnitee and EPS Solutions
Corporation, the arbitration provisions of that stock purchase agreement will
govern resolution of such controversy or claim.

               (iii) The arbitration shall be conducted by one independent and
impartial arbitrator, appointed by the AAA; provided however, if the claim and
any counterclaim, in the aggregate, together with other arbitrations that are
consolidated pursuant to subpart (c) below, exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000) (the "THRESHOLD"), exclusive of interest and attorneys' fees, the
dispute shall be heard and determined by three (3) arbitrators as provided
herein (such arbitrator or arbitrators are hereinafter referred to as the
"ARBITRATOR"). If three (3) Arbitrators are to be appointed, each party shall
select one person to act as Arbitrator (with all parties adverse to the Company
in a consolidated arbitration proceeding constituting a single party for this
purpose) and the two (2) selected shall select a third arbitrator within ten
(10) days of their appointment. If the Arbitrators selected by the parties are
unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator within such time, the third
arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. Each arbitrator shall be a practicing
attorney or a retired or former judge with at least twenty (20) years experience
with and knowledge of securities laws, complex business transactions, and
mergers and acquisitions.

           (b) Once the Arbitrator is selected, the Arbitrator shall schedule a
pre-hearing conference to reach agreement on procedural and scheduling matters,
arrange for the exchange of information, obtain stipulations and attempt to
narrow the issues. Unless the Arbitrator determines at the pre-hearing
conference or within five days thereafter that the interests of equity require
other discovery rules, (i) each party may serve a maximum of one set of no more
than twenty (20) requests for production of documents and one set of ten (10)
interrogatories (without subparts) upon the other parties; and depose a maximum
of three (3) witnesses; (ii) all objections to discovery are reserved for the
arbitration hearing except for objections based on privilege and proprietary or
confidential information; (iii) the responses to the document demand, the
documents to be produced thereunder, and the responses to the interrogatories
shall be delivered to the propounding party twenty (20) days after receipt by
the responding party of such document demand or interrogatory; (iv) each
deposition shall be taken on reasonable notice to the

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

deponent, and must be concluded within four (4) hours; and (v) all depositions
must be taken within forty-five (45) days following the pre-hearing conference.
Any party deposing an opponent's expert must pay the expert's fee for attending
the deposition. All discovery disputes shall be decided by the Arbitrator.

           (c) Any arbitration can be consolidated with one or more arbitrations
involving other parties, which arise under agreement(s) between the Company and
such other parties, if more than one such arbitration is commenced and any party

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

        THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is entered into effective
as of November 24, 1999 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE") by and between Enterprise Profit
Solutions Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY") and wholly owned
subsidiary of EPS Solutions Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("EPS"), and
David H. Hoffmann ("EMPLOYEE").

        The Company desires to retain the services of Employee, and Employee
desires to render such services, on the terms set forth herein.

        NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

        1. EMPLOYMENT. Employee's employment with the Company will be at-will,
which means that either Employee or the Company may terminate Employee's
employment at any time for any reason or no reason without payment, penalty or
further obligation except as set forth in Section 8 or in the Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreements entered into between Employee and EPS or another written
agreement between Employee and the Company or EPS.

        2. DUTIES. Employee shall serve as President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company and EPS. In that capacity, Employee shall report directly to the
board of directors of the Company and EPS (the "BOARD") and be responsible for
the duties and functions listed on Schedule 2 and shall perform such related
duties and services as the Board may from time to time assign, either directly
or by delegated authority, provided however, that Employee's responsibility and
authority within the Company and EPS will not be materially diminished without
Cause (as defined below) as long as shares of restricted stock purchased by
Employee pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement between Employee and
EPS are subject to Restrictions (as defined in the Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement) (the "RESTRICTED PERIOD"). Except as set forth herein, Employee's
position and duties may be changed at any time and from time to time by the
Board of EPS.

        3. TIME AND EFFORTS. While employed by the Company (the "EMPLOYMENT
PERIOD"), Employee shall use his best efforts and devote his time and attention
to the business of the Company and EPS on a full-time basis and shall at all
times faithfully and industriously and to the best of his ability, experience
and talent, perform all of the duties that may be required of him pursuant to
the terms hereof. During the Employment Period, Employee shall not engage in any
other paid employment or consulting activities without the express written
consent of the Company, but the foregoing shall not preclude Employee from
managing the business of the Company's DHR International business unit ("DHR")
and engaging in civic, charitable and/or religious activities, directing his own
passive investments, setting up, owning interests in and/or managing investment
entities with assets of Employee or third-parties, and/or serving on boards of
directors of other entities so long as such activities do not interfere or
conflict with Employee's duties hereunder as reasonably determined by the Board.

        4. COMPENSATION.

        (a) Salary, Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay
Employee at the annual rate of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (as such
pay may be increased by the Company from time to time in its discretion, the
"ANNUAL SALARY") for all services rendered to EPS, the Company, and its business
units by Employee, payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll
policies, subject, however, to withholding deductions, including without
limitation social security taxes and applicable federal, state and local income
and other employment taxes. Bonuses will be payable in the Company's discretion,
but (i) the foregoing provisions will not preclude Employee from receiving
performance compensation consistent with the Company's policies for his role as
President of the Company's DHR business unit; (ii) Employee will be entitled to
participate in any bonus program on terms at least as favorable as those made
available to other executive employees of the Company or EPS, and (iii)
Employee's bonus (after tax) for any year shall be not less than the annual
interest that Employee is required to pay to EPS in cash (as opposed to payment
in kind or deferral) in that year on any notes issued by Employee to EPS for the
purchase by Employee of stock of EPS, provided that Employee will not be
entitled to receive any bonus in connection with (A) payment of interest in
connection with sale of shares that were acquired for notes that generated the
interest or (B) payment of interest in connection with repayment of the
principal amount of the notes upon which the interest accrued.

        (b) Equity. In addition, in connection with employment by the Company
and services to be performed by Employee pursuant to this Agreement, Employee is
acquiring concurrently herewith, in addition to EPS shares previously acquired
by Employee, 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock of EPS pursuant to the
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement entered into between Employee and EPS as of
the Effective Date in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "RESTRICTED
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT").

        (c) Notes and Liquidity. During and after the Employment Period, and
regardless of the reason for or circumstances of any termination of Employee's
employment, Employee will be entitled to receive (i) the most favorable
treatment of interest on promissory notes incurred to purchase stock of EPS that
is received at any time by any other officer or former officer of the Company or
EPS as a purchaser of EPS Stock, and (ii) the most favorable registration rights
or other access to liquidity, on a ratable basis based upon relative holdings,
that is received at any time by any other officer or former officer of the
Company or EPS.

        (d) Private Company Equity. In his capacity as President of DHR,
Employee may in his discretion from time to time during the Window Period cause
the Company to accept Equity Fees in lieu of cash fees for executive search
services performed by the Company through DHR. Employee shall take reasonable
steps in an effort to ensure that any Equity Fees have a fair market value at
least equal to the amount of DHR's standard cash fees replaced thereby. At
Employee's option, at any time before the Termination Date, Employee may receive
from the Company any or all Equity Fees as a bonus. Any Equity Fees not received
by Employee by the Termination Date will no longer be subject to receipt by
Employee. The amount of any Equity Fees booked as income in accordance with GAAP
will count toward satisfaction of, and the booked amount of any Equity Fees
received by Employee pursuant to this Section 4(d) will be charged as an expense
against, the Income target associated with restricted stock of EPS

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

purchased by Employee and other persons employed by the Company in connection
with the DHR business, and any losses on investments in Equity Fees recognized
by the Company under GAAP will be applied in the period in which the loss is
recognized to reduce Income in determining satisfaction of such Income target.
For these purposes, (i) "EQUITY FEES" means Private Company Equity accepted by
the Company in lieu of cash fees for executive search services performed by the
Company through DHR; (ii) "PRIVATE COMPANY EQUITY" means equity interests in a
corporation, LLC, or other entity that retains the Company to perform executive
search services through DHR; (iii) "WINDOW PERIOD" means the period of time
beginning December 15, 1998 and ending on the Termination Date; and (iv)
"TERMINATION DATE" means the earlier of the closing of a public offering of
securities of EPS or any of its Affiliates (as defined in Schedule 1) or the
date of a Change in Control of the type described in paragraph (ii) or (iii) of
the definition of "Change in Control" in Schedule 1.

        5. PERSONAL TIME OFF POLICY. Employee shall be entitled to such number
of days of paid personal time off ("PTO") each year as is consistent with the
number of days set forth on Exhibit B and the Company's Personal Time Off
Policy, as such policy may be amended from time to time at the discretion of the
Company. Employee may not accrue more PTO days than the number of days set forth
on Exhibit B under the item "Maximum Accrued PTO." If Employee at any time has
more than such number of days, no further PTO days shall accrue until Employee
again has fewer than such number of days of unused PTO. PTO days may be used,
subject to approval by the Company consistent with business needs, as they are
earned. The Company shall pay Employee for accrued unused PTO days only in
connection with termination of employment. Such payment shall be made on the
basis of Employee's Annual Salary at the time of payment, pro-rated for the
number of accrued unused PTO days at the time of termination.

        6. BENEFITS. In addition to the compensation described in Section 4, the
Company shall provide Employee with benefits consistent with the Company's
employment policies as in effect from time to time, but in any case Employee's
benefits will be not less favorable than benefits provided to other executive
officers of the Company. Until the Company has a benefit plan in place, Employee
shall be reimbursed for all medical premiums incurred by Employee in connection
with medical insurance for Employee and his family equivalent to the coverage
provided to Employee by Employee's employer immediately prior to the date
hereof.

        7. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

           (a) Cause. For purposes hereof, the term "CAUSE" has the meaning set
forth in Schedule 1 hereto. Any termination by the Company of Employee's
employment within 90 days after the Company's becoming aware of the occurrence
of an event or circumstance constituting "Cause" will constitute termination for
Cause.

           (b) Good Reason. If the Company breaches this Agreement or any other
agreement with Employee in any material respect and does not cure such breach
within 15 days of receipt from Employee of notice of such breach and demand for
cure, or a Change in Control (as defined in Schedule 1) occurs, and Employee
terminates Employee's employment with the Company for any reason within 90 days
of such breach or Change in Control, such termination by Employee will be
termination with "GOOD REASON."

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

        8. CERTAIN PAYMENTS.

           (a) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Employee's employment
by the Company or by Employee shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination.
For purposes of this Agreement, a "NOTICE OF TERMINATION" shall mean a written
notice of termination of Employee's employment setting forth the effective date
of such termination and, if the termination is for cause, the specific
termination provisions in this Agreement relied upon and, in reasonable detail,
the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
Employee's employment under the provision so indicated.

           (b) Termination by Employee with Good Reason or the Company Without
Cause. If Employee's employment under this Agreement is terminated by Employee
with Good Reason or by the Company without Cause, then contingent upon execution
and delivery by Employee to the Company of an unconditional release, in form
consistent with the form of release attached as an exhibit to the Restricted
Stock Purchase Agreement, of all claims against the Company, EPS or any of their
officers, directors or affiliates arising from or in connection with this
Agreement or Employee's employment with the Company or the termination of that
employment, Employee shall be entitled to receive within five days of
termination of employment a lump sum payment equal to two times his Annual
Salary (the "SEVERANCE PAYMENT").

           (c) No Other Benefits. Except as set forth in Sections 5 or 8(b), or
as may be required by applicable law or separate written agreement between the
Company or EPS and Employee, the Company shall have no obligations to pay any
salary, bonus, accrued vacation or other amounts in connection with any
termination of Employee's employment or attributable to the period after
termination of Employee's employment. Without limiting the foregoing, and
subject to any separate written agreement to the contrary, Employee will not be
entitled to any severance payment or benefit if Employee's employment under this
Agreement is terminated as a result of death or Disability, or by Employee
without Good Reason, or by the Company for Cause.

        9. CONFIDENTIALITY. In connection with a previous employment agreement,
Employee has entered into a Confidential Information and Employee Invention
Agreement, which will remain in effect and survive termination or expiration of
this Agreement.

        10. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Employee represents and warrants to
the Company that (a) he is under no contractual restriction or other
restrictions or obligations that are inconsistent with the execution of this
Agreement, the performance of his duties and the covenants hereunder, and (b) he
is under no physical or mental disability that would interfere with his keeping
and performing all of the agreements, covenants and conditions to be kept or
performed hereunder.

        11. MISCELLANEOUS.

            (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted under and
governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its rules on
conflicts of law.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

            (b) Arbitration. Any dispute regarding the application,
interpretation or breach of this Agreement shall be resolved by final and
binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in
accordance with AAA's National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes.
Attorney's fees, costs and damages (where appropriate) shall be awarded to the
prevailing party in any dispute, and any resolution, opinion or order of AAA may
be entered as a judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction.

            (c) Modification and Waiver. No waiver or modification of this
Agreement or any term hereof shall be binding unless it is in writing signed by
the parties hereto. No failure to insist upon compliance with any term,
provision or condition to this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in
any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of any
such term, provision or condition or as a waiver of any other term, provision or
condition of this Agreement.

            (d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes and replaces all prior employment agreements, if any, between the
parties and will constitute Employee's Employment Agreement for all purposes. No
oral statements or prior written agreements with respect to the subject matter
hereof which are not specifically incorporated herein or in the Confidentiality
Agreement shall be of any force or effect.

            (e) Severability. If any provisions hereof shall be held or
construed to be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity
shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement, but the same shall
be construed and enforced just as though the illegal or invalid provisions had
not been included herein.

            (f) Notices. Any notice, demand or other communication required,
permitted or desired to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed effectively given upon personal delivery, facsimile transmission (with
confirmation of receipt), delivery by reputable overnight delivery service or
five (5) days following deposit in the United States mail (if sent by certified
or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested), in each case
duly addressed to the Company at its headquarters or to Employee at his or her
address of record listed with the Company.

            (g) Assignment. Employee's rights, duties and obligations under this
Agreement may not be assigned by Employee. The Company may assign its rights,
duties and obligations under this Agreement to any affiliate of the Company.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assignees of the Company
and EPS.

            (h) Headings. The section headings herein are intended for reference
and shall not affect in any way the construction or interpretation of this
Agreement.

            (i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

        "CAUSE" means the occurrence at any time of any one or more of the
following events or circumstances, provided however, that if any such event or
circumstance is susceptible to cure by Employee without damage to the Company,
such event or circumstance will not constitute Cause unless Employee has failed
to cure such event or circumstance within 15 days after receipt by Employee of
written notice thereof: (i) Employee engages in any wrongful conduct or

(vi) any actions by Employee involving moral turpitude or injurious to the
business or reputation of the Company or its Affiliates; (vii) any legal action
against Employee or the Company or any of its Affiliates occurs as a result of
Employee's service to the Company or any Affiliate and results in a judgment or
arbitral award that is based upon gross negligence or intentional misconduct by

successors against the Company or any of its Affiliates or any person or entity
that the Company or any of its Affiliates would be obligated to indemnify or
defend in connection with such action; or (ix) Employee does any of the things
described in (A)-(C) below.

        (A) Employee renders services for any organization or engages directly
or indirectly in any business that, in the reasonable judgment of the Board,
during Employee's employment with the Company or any Affiliated Entity, is or
becomes competitive with the Company or any Affiliated Entity, or which

business, is or becomes otherwise prejudicial to or in conflict with the
business or interests of the Company or any Affiliated Entity.

        (B) Employee fails to comply with the Confidentiality Agreement or with
the lawful policies of the Company or any Affiliated Entity regarding

including Employee) beneficially owning (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) more than thirty percent (30%) of either the
then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the combined voting power of then
outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors of EPS or the Company, provided that a Change in Control shall not be
deemed to have occurred if the "person" described in the preceding provisions is
an underwriter or underwriting syndicate that has acquired the ownership of
voting securities of EPS or the Company solely in connection with a public
offering of those securities; or

        (ii) any reorganization, merger or consolidation of EPS or the Company
with any other person, entity or corporation, other than a transaction which
would result in the owners of voting securities of EPS outstanding immediately
prior thereto continuing to own directly or indirectly more than fifty percent
(50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the entity or
entities surviving such reorganization, merger or consolidation that own and
conduct the business owned and conducted by EPS and the Company prior thereto;

who becomes a director after the Effective Date whose election, or nomination
for election by stockholders, is approved by a vote of at least a majority of
the directors then comprising the relevant Incumbent Board of Directors shall be
considered to be a member of the relevant Incumbent Board of Directors unless
that individual was nominated or elected by any person, entity or group (as
defined above) having the power to exercise, through beneficial ownership,
voting agreement and/or proxy, thirty percent (30%) or more of either the
outstanding shares of common stock of EPS or the Company or the combined voting
power of the outstanding securities of EPS or the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, in which case that individual shall not
be considered to be a member of the Incumbent Board of Directors unless such
individual's election or nomination for election by EPS' shareholders is
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the
Incumbent Board of Directors.

        For purposes of this definition, references to EPS and the Company shall
also refer to their successors and assigns such that reorganizations or other
corporate transactions do not impair the substantive intent of these provisions.
