                               OPUS360 CORPORATION

                        2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

     1.  ESTABLISHMENT OF PLAN.

                  Opus360 Corporation (the "COMPANY") proposes to grant options
for purchase of the Company's Common Stock to eligible employees of the Company
and its Designated Subsidiaries pursuant to this 2000 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (this "PLAN"). For purposes of this Plan, the terms "PARENT CORPORATION"
and "SUBSIDIARY" shall have the same meanings as "PARENT CORPORATION" and
"SUBSIDIARY CORPORATION" in Sections 424(e) and 424(f), respectively, of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE"). The term "DESIGNATED
SUBSIDIARIES" means Parent Corporations or Subsidiaries that the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "BOARD") designates from time to time as
corporations that shall participate in this Plan. The Company intends this Plan
to qualify as an "EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN" under Section 423 of the Code
(including any amendments to or replacements of such Section), and this Plan
shall be so construed. Any term not expressly defined in this Plan but defined
for purposes of Section 423 of the Code shall have the same definition herein. A
total of 2,250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (without making any
adjustment under this Plan or otherwise for any stock split, stock dividend or
similar recapitalization event occurring prior to the First Offering Date (as
defined in SECTION 5)) is reserved for issuance under this Plan. In addition, on
each January 1, the aggregate number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
reserved for issuance under this Plan shall be increased automatically by a
number of shares equal to 1.0% of the total number of outstanding shares of the
Company's Common Stock on the immediately preceding December 31; PROVIDED, that
the Board or the Committee (as defined in SECTION 3) may in its sole discretion
reduce the amount of the increase in any particular year; and, PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that the aggregate number of shares issued over the term of this Plan
shall not exceed 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Such number shall be subject
to adjustments effected in accordance with SECTION 14.

     2.  PURPOSE.

                  The purpose of this Plan is to provide eligible employees of
the Company and Designated Subsidiaries with a convenient means of acquiring an
equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions, to enhance such
employees' sense of participation in the affairs of the Company and Designated
Subsidiaries, and to provide an incentive for continued employment.

     3.  ADMINISTRATION.

                  This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee
of the Board (the "COMMITTEE"). Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the
limitations of Section 423 of the Code or any successor provision in the Code,
all questions of interpretation or application of this Plan shall be determined
by the Committee and its decisions shall be final and binding upon all
participants. Members of the Committee shall receive no compensation for their
services in connection with the administration of this Plan, other than standard
fees as established from time

<PAGE>

to time by the Board for services rendered by Board members serving on Board
committees. All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of this
Plan shall be paid by the Company.

     4.  ELIGIBILITY.

                  Any employee of the Company or the Designated Subsidiaries is
eligible to participate in an Offering Period (as defined in SECTION 5) under
this Plan except the following: (a) employees who are not employed by the
Company or a Designated Subsidiary prior to the beginning of such Offering
Period or prior to such other date as specified by the Committee; (b) employees
who are customarily employed for less than twenty (20) hours per week; (c)
employees who are customarily employed for five (5) months or less in a calendar
year; (d) employees who, together with any other person whose stock would be
attributed to such employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, own stock or
hold options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total
combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any of
its Designated Subsidiaries or who, as a result of being granted an option under
this Plan with respect to such Offering Period, would own stock or hold options
to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its
Designated Subsidiaries; and (e) individuals who provide services to the Company
or any of its Designated Subsidiaries as independent contractors who are
reclassified as common law employees for any reason except for federal income
and employment tax purposes. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, an employee of the Company or the Designated Subsidiaries may not
participate in more than one Offering Period at a time.

     5.  OFFERING DATES.

                  The offering periods of this Plan (each, an "OFFERING PERIOD")
shall be of twenty-four (24) months duration commencing on May 1 and November 1
of each year and ending on April 30 and October 31 of each year; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the first such Offering Period shall commence on the first
Business Day on which price quotations for the Company's Common Stock are
reported on the national securities exchange or national market system on which
the Company's Common Stock shall first be listed, admitted to trading or traded
(the "FIRST OFFERING DATE") and shall end on April 30, 2002. Each Offering
Period shall consist of four (4) consecutive purchase periods (individually, a
"PURCHASE PERIOD") during which payroll deductions of the participants are
accumulated under this Plan. Except for the first Purchase Period of the first
Offering Period, each Purchase Period shall be of six months duration. The first
Purchase Period of the first Offering Period shall begin on the First Offering
Date and end on October 31, 2000, and the remaining three (3) Purchase Periods
of such Offering Period shall respectively consist of the three six-month
periods following consecutively thereafter. The first Business Day of each
Offering Period is referred to as the "OFFERING DATE". The last Business Day of
each Purchase Period is referred to as the "PURCHASE DATE". The Committee shall
have the power to change the Offering Dates, the Purchase Dates and the duration
of Offering Periods or Purchase Periods without stockholder approval if such
change is announced prior to the relevant Offering Period or prior to such other
time period as specified by the Committee. For purposes of this Plan, the term
"BUSINESS DAY" means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or

                                       2
<PAGE>

a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or
obligated by law or executive order to close.

     6.  PARTICIPATION IN THIS PLAN.

                  Eligible employees may become participants in an Offering
Period under this Plan on the Offering Date of such Offering Period, after
satisfying the eligibility requirements to participate in such Offering Period
as set forth in this Plan, by delivering a subscription agreement, substantially
in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, to the Company prior to such Offering
Date, or such other date as specified by the Committee. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Committee may set a later time for delivering the subscription
agreement authorizing payroll deductions for all eligible employees with respect
to a given Offering Period. An eligible employee who does not deliver a
subscription agreement to the Company by such Offering Date, or such other date
as specified by the Committee, shall not participate in that Offering Period
unless such employee enrolls in this Plan by delivering a subscription agreement
to the Company prior to such later time as may be set by the Committee. Once an
employee becomes a participant in an Offering Period, such employee will
automatically participate in the Offering Period commencing immediately
following the last day of the prior Offering Period unless the employee
withdraws or is deemed to withdraw from this Plan or terminates further
participation in the Offering Period as set forth in SECTION 11. Such
participant is not required to deliver any additional subscription agreement in
order to continue participation in this Plan.

     7.  GRANT OF OPTION ON OFFERING DATE.

                  Enrollment by an eligible employee in this Plan with respect
to an Offering Period will constitute the grant (as of the Offering Date) by the
Company to such employee of an option to purchase on each Purchase Date of such
Offering Period up to that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
determined by dividing (a) the amount accumulated in such employee's payroll
deduction account during the Purchase Period ending on such Purchase Date by (b)
the lesser of (i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a share
of the Company's Common Stock on the Offering Date (but in no event less than
the par value of a share of the Company's Common Stock), or (ii) eighty-five
percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company's Common Stock
on such Purchase Date (but in no event less than the par value of a share of the
Company's Common Stock); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock subject to any option granted pursuant to this Plan shall
not exceed the maximum number of shares set by the Committee pursuant to SECTION
10 with respect to the applicable Purchase Date. The Fair Market Value of a
share of the Company's Common Stock shall be determined as provided in SECTION
8.

     8.  PURCHASE PRICE.

                  The purchase price per share at which a share of Common Stock
will be sold on each Purchase Date of any Offering Period shall be eighty-five
percent (85%) of the lesser of (x) the Fair Market Value of a share of the
Company's Common Stock on the Offering Date (but in no event less than the par
value of a share of the Company's Common Stock) or (y) the Fair Market Value of
a share of the Company's Common Stock on such Purchase Date (but in no event
less than the par value of a share of the Company's Common Stock). For purposes
of this

                                       3
<PAGE>

Plan, the term "FAIR MARKET VALUE" means, on any date, for any security, (i) if
such security is of a class or series of securities then listed or admitted to
trading on any national securities exchange or traded on any national market
system, the closing sale price on such date or, if no such sale takes place on
such date, the average of the closing bid and ask prices on such date, in each
case as officially reported on the principal national securities exchange or
national market system on which securities are then listed, admitted to trading
or traded, (ii) if such security is not of a class or series of securities then
listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or traded on
any national market system, or else if no closing sale price or closing bid and
ask prices thereof are then so reported by any such exchange or system, the
average of the reported closing bid and ask prices for such security in the
over-the-counter market on such date as shown by the NASD automated quotation
system, or if such securities are not then quoted on such system, as published
by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or any similar successor
organization, and in either case as reported by any member firm of the New York
Stock Exchange selected by the Company, and (iii) if such security is not of a
class or series of securities then listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange or traded on any national market system, or else if no
closing sale price or closing bid and ask prices thereof are then so reported by
such exchange or system, or else if no closing bid and ask prices thereof are
then so quoted or published in the over-the-counter market, the fair value of
such security on such date, which shall be determined in good faith by the
Board; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, the Fair Market Value of a share of the
Company's Common Stock on the First Offering Date shall be the price per share
at which shares of the Company's Common Stock are initially offered for sale to
the public by the Company's underwriters in the initial public offering of the
Company's Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "SECURITIES ACT").

     9.  PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE; CHANGES IN PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS; ISSUANCE OF
         SHARES.

         (a) The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock which will be sold
upon the exercise of any option granted under this Plan shall be accumulated by
regular payroll deductions made during each Offering Period. The deductions
shall be made as a percentage of the participant's Compensation in one percent
(1%) increments not less than one percent (1%), nor greater than fifteen percent
(15%) or such lower limit set by the Committee. The term "COMPENSATION" shall
mean all W-2 cash compensation, including, but not limited to, base salary,
wages, commissions, overtime, shift premiums and bonuses, plus draws against
commissions, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that for purposes of determining a participant's
compensation, any election by such participant to reduce his or her regular cash
remuneration under Sections 125 or 401(k) of the Code shall be treated as if the
participant did not make such election. Payroll deductions shall commence on the
first payday of the Offering Period and shall continue to the end of the
Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided in this Plan.

         (b) A participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll
deductions during an Offering Period by filing with the Company a new
authorization for payroll deductions at any time prior to the commencement of
such Offering Period or during such Offering Period (or on or prior to such
dates prior to or during such Offering Period as may be specified by the
Committee), in which case the new rate shall become effective for the next
payroll period commencing after the Company's receipt of the authorization and
shall continue for the remainder of the Offering Period. Not more than one (1)
such change in the rate of payroll

                                       4
<PAGE>

deductions may be made effective prior to the commencement of an Offering Period
or during any Purchase Period of an Offering Period, unless otherwise specified
by the Committee.

         (c) A participant may reduce his or her payroll deduction percentage to
zero during an Offering Period by filing with the Company a request for
cessation of payroll deductions. Such reduction shall be effective beginning
with the next payroll period after the Company's receipt of the request and no
further payroll deductions will be made for the duration of the Offering Period.
Payroll deductions credited to the participant's account prior to the effective
date of the request shall be used to purchase shares of Common Stock of the
Company in accordance with SECTION 9(f). A participant may not resume making
payroll deductions during the Offering Period in which he or she reduced his or
her payroll deductions to zero.

         (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply
with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and SECTIONS 4 and 10(a), a participant's
payroll deduction percentage may be decreased to zero at any time during an
Offering Period. The payroll deductions of a participant in an Offering Period
under this Plan who is subject to any such suspension pursuant to this SECTION
9(D) shall automatically resume at the rate immediately in effect prior to any
such suspension, beginning at such time when such suspension is no longer
necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code or SECTION 4, SECTION
10(A) or any other applicable provision of this Plan, unless the participant has
terminated his or her participation in such Offering Period or increased or
decreased his or her rate of payroll deductions in accordance with this SECTION
9, in which case such new rate shall be applicable, subject to the further
limitations of this Plan.

         (e) All payroll deductions made for a participant are credited to his
or her account under this Plan and are deposited with the general funds of the
Company. No interest accrues on the payroll deductions. All payroll deductions
received or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate
purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll
deductions.

         (f) On each Purchase Date, so long as this Plan remains in effect and
provided that the participant has not submitted a signed and completed
withdrawal form before that date which notifies the Company that the participant
wishes to withdraw from that Offering Period under this Plan and have all
payroll deductions accumulated in the account maintained on behalf of the
participant as of that date returned to the participant, the Company shall apply
the funds then in the participant's account to the purchase of whole shares of
Common Stock reserved under the option granted to such participant with respect
to the Offering Period to the extent that such option is exercisable on the
Purchase Date. The purchase price per share shall be as specified in SECTION 8.
Any cash remaining in a participant's account after such purchase of shares
shall be carried forward, without interest, into the next Purchase Period or
Offering Period, as the case may be. In the event that this Plan has been
oversubscribed, all funds not used to purchase shares on the Purchase Date shall
be returned to the participant, without interest. No Common Stock shall be
purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of any employee whose participation in
this Plan has terminated prior to such Purchase Date.

         (g) At the time any option granted under this Plan is exercised, in
whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Common Stock sold upon the
exercise of any option granted under this Plan is disposed of, the participant
to whom such option was granted shall make

                                       5
<PAGE>

adequate provision for the Company's federal, state or other tax withholding
obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the option or the
disposition of the Common Stock. At any time, the Company may, but shall not be
obligated to, withhold from the participant's compensation the amount necessary
for the Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any
withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or
benefits attributable to the sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the
participant.

         (h) As promptly as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company
shall issue shares for the participant's benefit representing the shares
purchased upon the exercise of his or her option.

         (i) During a participant's lifetime, his or her option to purchase
shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. The participant will have no
interest or voting right in shares covered by his or her option until such
option has been exercised.

         (j) No option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be exercisable after
the expiration of the term provided for in Section 423(b)(7) of the Code.

    10. LIMITATIONS ON SHARES TO BE PURCHASED.

         (a) No participant shall be entitled to purchase stock under this Plan
at a rate which, when aggregated with his or her rights to purchase stock under
all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any Subsidiary,
exceeds $25,000 in Fair Market Value, determined as of the Offering Date (or
such other limit as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which
the employee participates in this Plan. The Company shall automatically suspend
the payroll deductions of any participant as necessary to enforce such limit
provided that when the Company automatically resumes such payroll deductions,
the Company must apply the rate in effect immediately prior to such suspension.

         (b) No participant shall be entitled to purchase more than the Maximum
Share Amount (as defined below) of the Company's Common Stock in the aggregate
on any single Purchase Date with respect to any Offering Period. Prior to the
commencement of any Offering Period, or prior to such date as specified by the
Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, set a maximum number of
shares which may be purchased by any employee at any single Purchase Date (the
"MAXIMUM SHARE AMOUNT"). The Maximum Share Amount shall be that number of shares
of the Company's Common Stock as may be purchased under this Plan in accordance
with SECTION 10(a) (or such other Maximum Share Amount of a lesser amount as may
be determined by the Committee). If a new Maximum Share Amount is set, then all
participants must be notified of such Maximum Share Amount prior to the
commencement of the next Offering Period. The Maximum Share Amount shall
continue to apply with respect to all succeeding Purchase Dates and Offering
Periods unless revised by the Committee as set forth above.

         (c) If the number of shares to be purchased on a Purchase Date by all
employees participating in this Plan exceeds the number of shares then available
for issuance under this Plan, then the Company will make a PRO RATA allocation
of the remaining shares in as uniform a

                                       6
<PAGE>

manner as shall be reasonably practicable and as the Committee shall determine
to be equitable. In such event, the Company shall give written notice of such
reduction of the number of shares to be purchased under a participant's option
to each participant affected.

         (d) Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant's account which
are not used to purchase stock due to the limitations in this SECTION 10 shall
be returned to the participant as soon as practicable after the end of the
applicable Purchase Period, without interest.

    11. WITHDRAWAL.

         (a) Each participant may withdraw from an Offering Period under this
Plan by signing and delivering to the Company a written notice to that effect,
which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT B. Such
withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of an Offering Period, or
such other date as specified by the Committee.

         (b) Upon withdrawal from this Plan, the accumulated payroll deductions
shall be returned to the withdrawn participant, without interest, and his or her
interest in this Plan shall terminate. In the event a participant voluntarily
elects to withdraw from this Plan, he or she may not resume his or her
participation in this Plan during the same Offering Period, but he or she may
participate in any Offering Period under this Plan which commences on a date
subsequent to such withdrawal by delivering a new authorization for payroll
deductions in the same manner as set forth in SECTION 6 for initial
participation in this Plan.

         (c) If the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company's Common Stock
on any Purchase Date of an Offering Period is less than the Fair Market Value of
a share of the Company's Common Stock on the Offering Date for such Offering
Period, then every participant shall automatically (i) be withdrawn from such
Offering Period at the close of such Purchase Date and after the purchase of
shares of Common Stock on such Purchase Date pursuant to the options granted
hereunder, to the extent such options are exercisable on such Purchase Date, and
(ii) be enrolled in the Offering Period commencing on or immediately after such
Purchase Date.

     12. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

                  Termination of a participant's employment for any reason,
including retirement, death or the failure of a participant to remain an
eligible employee of the Company or of a Designated Subsidiary, immediately
terminates his or her participation in this Plan. In such event, the payroll
deductions credited to the participant's account will be returned to him or her
or, in the case of his or her death, to his or her legal representative, without
interest. For purposes of this SECTION 12, an employee will not be deemed to
have terminated employment or failed to remain in the continuous employ of the
Company or of a Designated Subsidiary in the case of sick leave, military leave,
or any other leave of absence approved by the Board; PROVIDED, that such leave
is for a period of not more than ninety (90) days or reemployment upon the
expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute.

     13. RETURN OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS.

                  In the event a participant's interest in this Plan is
terminated by withdrawal, termination of employment or otherwise, or in the
event this Plan is terminated by the Board, the

                                       7
<PAGE>

Company shall deliver to the participant all payroll deductions credited to such
participant's account. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a
participant in this Plan.

     14. CAPITAL CHANGES.

         (a) Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company,
the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under this Plan
which has not yet been exercised and the number of shares of Common Stock which
have been authorized for issuance under this Plan but have not yet been placed
under option (collectively, the "RESERVES"), as well as the price per share of
Common Stock covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been
exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting
from a stock split or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Common
Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, in each case effected on or after the First Offering
Date without receipt of any consideration by the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed
to have been "EFFECTED WITHOUT RECEIPT OF ANY CONSIDERATION." Such adjustment
shall be made by the Committee, whose determination shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.

         (b) In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Company on or after the First Offering Date, the Offering Period will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise
provided by the Committee. The Committee may, in the exercise of its sole
discretion in such instances, declare that this Plan shall terminate as of a
date fixed by the Committee and give each participant the right to purchase
shares under this Plan prior to such termination. In the event of (i) a merger
or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other
than a merger or consolidation with a wholly owned subsidiary, a reincorporation
of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there
is no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company or their relative
stock holdings and the options under this Plan are assumed, converted or
replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption will be binding on all
participants), (ii) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation
but after which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger
(other than any stockholder that merges, or which owns or controls another
corporation that merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their
shares or other equity interest in the Company, (iii) the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or (iv) the acquisition, sale, or
transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company by tender
offer or similar transaction, this Plan will continue with regard to Offering
Periods that commenced prior to the closing of the proposed transaction and
shares will be purchased based on the Fair Market Value of the surviving
corporation's stock on each Purchase Date, unless otherwise provided by the
Committee.

         (c) The Committee may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole
discretion, also make provision on or after the First Offering Date for
adjusting the Reserves, as well as the

                                       8
<PAGE>

price per share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option, in the event
that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights
offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding Common
Stock, or in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any
other corporation.

     15. NONASSIGNABILITY.

                  Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant's account
nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares
under this Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of
in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as
provided in SECTION 22) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment,
transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be void and without effect.

     16. REPORTS.

                  Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in
this Plan. Each participant shall receive promptly after the end of each
Purchase Period a report of his or her account setting forth the total payroll
deductions accumulated, the number of shares purchased, the per share price
thereof and the remaining cash balance, if any, carried forward to the next
Purchase Period or Offering Period, as the case may be.

     17. NOTICE OF DISPOSITION.

                  Each participant shall notify the Company in writing within
thirty (30) days after the disposition if the participant disposes of any of the
shares purchased in any Offering Period pursuant to this Plan if such
disposition occurs within two (2) years from the Offering Date or within one (1)
year from the Purchase Date on which such shares were purchased (the "NOTICE
PERIOD"). The Company may, at any time during the Notice Period, place a legend
or legends on any certificate representing shares acquired pursuant to this Plan
requesting the Company's transfer agent to notify the Company of any transfer of
the shares. The obligation of the participant to provide such notice shall
continue notwithstanding the placement of any such legend on the certificates.

     18. NO RIGHTS TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT.

                  Neither this Plan nor the grant of any option hereunder shall
confer any right on any employee to remain in the employ of the Company or any
Designated Subsidiary, or restrict the right of the Company or any Designated
Subsidiary to terminate such employee's employment.

     19. EQUAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES.

                  All eligible employees shall have equal rights and privileges
with respect to this Plan so that this Plan qualifies as an "EMPLOYEE STOCK
PURCHASE PLAN" within the meaning of Section 423 or any successor provision of
the Code and the related regulations. Any provision of this Plan which is
inconsistent with Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code shall,
without further act or amendment by the Company, the Committee or the Board, be
reformed to

                                       9
<PAGE>

comply with the requirements of Section 423. This SECTION 19 shall take
precedence over all other provisions in this Plan.

     20. NOTICES.

                  All notices or other communications by a participant to the
Company under or in connection with this Plan shall be deemed to have been duly
given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by

     21. TERM; STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.

                  After this Plan is adopted by the Board, this Plan will become
effective on the First Offering Date (as defined in SECTION 5). This Plan shall
be approved by the stockholders of the Company, in any manner permitted by
applicable law, within twelve (12) months before or after the date this Plan is
adopted by the Board. No purchase of shares pursuant to this Plan shall occur
prior to such stockholder approval. This Plan shall continue until the earlier
to occur of (a) termination of this Plan by the Board (which termination may be
effected by the Board at any time), (b) issuance of all of the shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance under this Plan, or (c) ten (10) years from the
adoption of this Plan by the Board.

     22. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.

         (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who
is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account under
this Plan in the event of such participant's death subsequent to the end of an
Purchase Period but prior to delivery to him of such shares and cash. In
addition, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is
to receive any cash from the participant's account under this Plan in the event
of such participant's death prior to a Purchase Date.

         (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant
at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant and in
the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under this Plan who is living at
the time of such participant's death, the Company shall deliver such shares or
cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no
such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the
Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares or cash to the
spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if
no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other
person as the Company may designate.

     23. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES; LIMITATION ON SALE OF SHARES.

                  Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless

pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or
foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

     24. APPLICABLE LAW.

                  This Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with
the domestic laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice
of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of New York, or
any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the State of New York to be applied.

     25. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THIS PLAN.

                  The Board may at any time amend, terminate or extend the term
of this Plan, except that any such termination cannot affect options previously
granted under this Plan, nor may any amendment make any change in an option
previously granted which would adversely affect the right of any participant,
nor may any amendment be made without approval of the stockholders of the
Company obtained in accordance with SECTION 21 within twelve (12) months of the
adoption of such amendment (or earlier if required by SECTION 21) if such
amendment would: (a) increase the number of shares that may be issued under this
Plan; or (b) change the designation of the employees (or class of employees)
eligible for participation in this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board may make such amendments to this Plan as the Board determines to be
advisable, if the continuation of this Plan or any Offering Period would result
in financial accounting treatment for this Plan that is different from the
financial accounting treatment in effect on the date this Plan is adopted by the
Board.

     26. ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS OF RULE 16b-3.

                  The terms and conditions of options granted hereunder to, and
the purchase of shares by, persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act
shall comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3. This Plan shall be
deemed to contain, and such options shall contain, and the shares issued upon
exercise thereof shall be subject to, such additional conditions and
restrictions as may be required by Rule 16b-3 to qualify for the maximum
exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions.

-----
       Change in Payroll Deduction Percentage
-----
       Change of Beneficiaries
-----

         1. ______________ hereby elects to participate in the 2000 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (the "EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN") of Opus360 Corporation
(the "COMPANY"), commencing with the Offering Period beginning on _________ __,
_____ (the "INITIAL OFFERING PERIOD"), and subscribes to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock in accordance with this Subscription Agreement and the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan.

         2. I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the
amount of __% of my Compensation on each payday (from 1% to 15%), commencing
with the Initial Offering Period, in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan. (Please note that no fractional percentages are permitted).

         3. I understand that said payroll deductions shall be accumulated for
the purchase of shares of Common Stock at the applicable Purchase Price
determined in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. I understand
that if I do not withdraw from an Offering Period, any accumulated payroll
deductions will be used to automatically exercise my option to purchase shares
of Common Stock.

         4. I have received a copy of the complete Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
I understand that my participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is in all
respects subject to its terms and conditions. I understand that my ability to
exercise the option under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is subject to
stockholder approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

         5. Shares purchased for me under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan

<PAGE>

         6. I understand that if I dispose of any shares received by me pursuant
to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan within two (2) years after the Offering Date
of the Offering Period during which I purchased such shares or within one (1)
year after the Purchase Date on which I purchased such shares, I will be treated
for federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary compensation income
at the time of such disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the fair
market value of the shares on the disposition date over the price which I paid
for the shares. If I dispose of such shares at any time after expiration of the
two-year and one-year holding periods, I understand that I will be treated for
federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary income only to the
extent of an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount, if any, that the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock on the Offering Date exceeds my purchase price,
or (ii) the amount, if any, by which the Common Stock's Fair Market Value at the
time of disposition exceeds the purchase price. The remainder of the gain or
loss, if any, recognized on such disposition will be treated as capital gain or
loss. I understand that this tax summary is only a summary and is subject to
change. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT I SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE
TAX IMPLICATIONS OF THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK UNDER THE EMPLOYEE STOCK
PURCHASE PLAN.

         7. I hereby agree to notify the Company in writing within 30 days after
the date of any disposition of shares if I dispose of any of the shares
purchased in any Offering Period pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan if
such disposition occurs within two (2) years from the Offering Date or within
one (1) year from the Purchase Date on which such shares were purchased, and I
will make adequate provision for federal, state or other tax withholding
obligations, if any, which arise upon the disposition of shares.

         8. The Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from my
compensation the amount necessary to meet any applicable withholding obligation,
including any withholding necessary to make available to the Company any tax
deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of shares by
me.

         9. I hereby agree to be bound by the terms of the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. The effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement is dependent
upon my eligibility to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

                                                                 EXECUTION COPY

                  EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated as of March 23, 2000, between
OPUS360 CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and DR. RAM
CHILLAREGE (the "EMPLOYEE").

                  WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Employee as the
Executive Vice President-Engineering of the Company; and

                  WHEREAS, the Employee desires to accept such employment by the
Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Employee hereby agree as
follows:

         SECTION 1.        EMPLOYMENT.

                  The Company hereby employs the Employee, and the Employee
hereby accepts employment by the Company, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth.

         SECTION 2.        TERM OF EMPLOYMENT.

                  The Employee's employment hereunder shall be for the period
commencing on March 24, 2000 (the "START DATE") and ending on the day
immediately prior to the third anniversary of the Start Date (the "BASE TERM");
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 6, 7, 8 or 9 hereof, the Base Term shall be automatically renewed and
extended for successive one-year terms without further act of the parties (each,
a "RENEWAL TERM" and together with the Base Term, collectively, the "EMPLOYMENT
PERIOD"), unless either the Company or the Employee gives the other party hereto
at least 45 days prior written notice before the end of the Employment Period of
such party's intent not to renew this Agreement (each, a "RIGHT NOT TO EXTEND").

         SECTION 3.        DUTIES.

                  The Employee shall be employed as the Executive Vice
President-Engineering of the Company or in such other position as the Company
and the

<PAGE>

Employee shall agree in writing. The Employee shall report to the President of
the Company. The Employee shall perform such duties and services as are
appropriate and commensurate with the Employee's position as Executive Vice
President - Engineering of the Company and as are otherwise consistent in
stature and prestige with the position of Executive Vice President - Engineering
of a corporation with similar operations as the Company, and shall perform such
additional duties and services which are similarly consistent with such position
as may reasonably be assigned to him from time to time by the President. The
Employee shall be based in the New York City metropolitan area.

         SECTION 4.        TIME TO BE DEVOTED TO EMPLOYMENT.

                  (a) Except for three weeks vacation during each 12-month
period worked (in addition to public holidays), absences due to temporary
illness and time spent as a director in respect of a directorship held by the
Employee on or prior to the Start Date, the Employee shall devote substantially
all of his business time, attention and energies to the business and affairs of
the Company during the Employment Period.

                  (b) During the Employment Period, the Employee shall not
engage in any other business activity which conflicts with the duties of the
Employee hereunder, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or
other pecuniary advantage; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, to the extent not in conflict with
this Section 4, the Employee shall not be prohibited from (i) serving as an
officer, director, trustee or otherwise participating in purely educational,
welfare, social, charitable, religious and civic organizations, or (ii) managing
personal and family investments, in each case to the extent such activities (A)
do not interfere or conflict in any material respect with the performance of his
duties and responsibilities hereunder and (B) are conducted in accordance with
the limitations of Section 11. Except with the prior written approval of the
Board (excluding the Employee if he should be a member of the Board at the time
of such determination), which the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"BOARD") may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, the
Employee, during the Employment Period, will not serve on the board of directors
or similar body of any business entity other than the Company or any subsidiary
thereof (other than with respect to any directorship held by the Employee on or
prior to the Start Date, which directorships, if any, have been disclosed in
writing by the Employee to the Company).

         SECTION 5.        COMPENSATION; REIMBURSEMENT.

                                       2
<PAGE>

                  (a) During the Employment Period, the Company (or at the
Company's option, any subsidiary or affiliate thereof) shall pay to the Employee
an annual salary (the "BASE SALARY") of not less than $250,000, payable
semi-monthly. Such Base Salary will be reviewed at least annually and may be
increased by the Board or the Board's designee (excluding the Employee if he
should be a member of the Board at the time of such determination) in its sole
discretion. Effective as of any such increase, the Base Salary as so increased
shall be considered the new Base Salary for all purposes of this Agreement and
may not thereafter be reduced.

                  (b) The Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus
of no less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) during each calendar
year of the Employment Period (pro-rated for partial calendar years of
employment by the Company with such pro ration for the year 2000 to be made as
if the calendar year 2000 began on March 1, 2000) based upon his achievement of
performance criteria mutually agreed upon by the Employee and the Company. The
performance criteria for the first year of the Employment Period shall be
satisfied in the event that the Company achieves gross revenue of $15 million
for calendar year 2000. With respect to subsequent calendar years, it is
expected that the performance criteria will be based on increasing gross revenue
targets to be agreed upon within thirty (30) days after each anniversary of this
Employment Agreement and that such targets shall be consistent with and no
higher than the performance targets established for the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company for such calendar year.

                  (c) During the Employment Period and to the extent available
to senior executive officers of the Company, the Employee shall be entitled to
participate in all of the Company's benefit plans, pension and retirement plans,
life insurance, hospitalization and surgical and major medical coverages, sick
leave, vacation and holiday policies, long-term disability coverage and such
other fringe benefits enjoyed by other senior executive officers of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5(c), at no
time during the Employment Period shall the long-term disability coverage and
life insurance benefits that the Company provides to the Employee be reduced to
a level below that being provided to the Employee as of the Start Date.

                  (d) The Company shall reimburse the Employee, in accordance
with the practice from time to time for other senior executive officers of the
Company, for all reasonable and necessary traveling expenses, disbursements and
other reasonable and necessary incidental expenses incurred by him for or on
behalf of the

                                       3
<PAGE>

Company in the performance of his duties hereunder upon presentation by the
Employee to the Company of appropriate vouchers.

                  (e) The Company shall grant the Employee, on the date of
grant, (i) an option (the "ISO") to purchase up to 30,000 shares of common stock
of the Company (the "Common Stock") pursuant to the terms and conditions of a
written option agreement between the Company and the Employee, the form of which
is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A (the "ISO AGREEMENT"), which shall contain all
of the terms and conditions of the ISO, and (ii) an option (the "NSO" and
together with the ISO, "OPTIONS") to purchase up to 470,000 shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of a written option agreement between
the Company and the Employee, the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT B
(the "NSO AGREEMENT" and together with the ISO Agreement, the "STOCK OPTION
AGREEMENTS"), which shall contain all of the terms and conditions of the NSO.
100,000 of Options shall vest on the date of grant and the remaining 400,000 of
Options shall vest over three years, 6/36 of such amount shall vest on the six
month anniversary of the date of grant and 1/36 of such amount shall vest each
month thereafter. The Company shall at least once each year commencing in 2001
consider the Employee for future annual or other grants of stock options and
other equity awards on at least the same basis as such options and equity awards
are granted to other senior executive officers. All references to share and
option numbers set forth herein assume and give effect to the 3-for-2 stock
split referred to in the Company's current Registration Statement on Form S-1,
consequently, actual option grants may reflect fewer shares if granted prior to
the consummation of the stock splits.

                  (f) The Employee authorizes the Company to deduct from any
amounts payable to him hereunder such sums as may be required to be deducted or
withheld under the provisions of any federal, state or local law or regulation
now in effect or hereafter put into effect during the term of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, social security and income withholding taxes.

         SECTION 6.        INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION.

                  (a) If the Employee is incapacitated or disabled by accident,
sickness or other cause so as to render him mentally or physically incapable of
performing the services required to be performed by him under this Agreement for
a period of 120 consecutive days or longer, or 150 days or longer during any 200
day period (such condition being herein referred to as a "DISABILITY"), prior to
the Employee resuming the performance of his duties as contemplated herein, the

                                       4
<PAGE>

Company may terminate the employment of the Employee under this Agreement (an
"INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION"). Until the Company or the Employee shall have
terminated the Employee's employment hereunder, the Employee shall be entitled
to receive his compensation and other benefits as set forth in this Agreement
notwithstanding any such Disability.

                  (b) Any determination as to whether the Employee is subject to
a physical or mental incapacity shall first be made by the Board (excluding the
Employee if he should be a member of the Board at the time of such
determination) in its good faith judgment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if any such
determination is disputed by the Employee, the matter shall be referred to a
licensed physician practicing within New York, New York or a 50-mile radius
thereof and selected by the Board and the Employee, and the determination of
Disability made by such physician shall be final and binding on both the
Employee and the Company. The Employee represents and warrants to the Company
that, to the best of his knowledge, he does not have a Disability as of the date
hereof.

                  (c) If the Employee dies during the Employment Period, his
employment hereunder shall be deemed to cease as of the date of his death, and
the termination of his employment occasioned thereby shall be deemed an
Involuntary Termination.

         SECTION 7.        TERMINATION FOR CAUSE OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

                  (a) The Company may terminate the Employee's employment
hereunder at any time during the Employment Period for "Cause" (a "TERMINATION
FOR CAUSE"). Prior to, and in connection with, any Termination for Cause, (1)
the President of the Company or his designee shall give written notice to the
Employee of the specific circumstances which may constitute the basis for a
Termination for Cause, (2) the Employee shall be provided with ten (10) days to
cure the basis for a Termination with Cause (but only if such basis is capable
of cure), and (3) the Board shall have determined, in its sole discretion (so
long as not arbitrary or capricious), by a vote of not less three-fourths (3/4)
of the Board (excluding the Employee if he should be a member of the Board at
the time of such determination) at a meeting called and held for such purpose,
after reasonable notice to the Employee and an opportunity for the Employee,
together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board, that the Company has
Cause to terminate the Employee's employment. For purposes of this Agreement,
"CAUSE" shall be limited to:

                                       5
<PAGE>

                           (i) the gross negligence or willful refusal or
         failure by the Employee to attempt to substantially perform the duties
         described in Section 3 (other than any failure resulting from an
         illness or other similar incapacity or disability);

         and any other stock options and equity awards granted to the Employee
         during the Employment Period, which Options and other options shall
         vest according to their original schedule as if the Employee's
         employment hereunder had continued until all such Options and other

                  (a) In consideration of the compensation and other benefits to

         any independent knowledge workers or other information technology
         professionals, or end user organizations that have a business
         relationship with the Company, to alter or terminate their business
         relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; PROVIDED,
         HOWEVER, that nothing contained in this Section 11 shall be deemed to
         prohibit the Employee from acquiring, directly or indirectly, solely as
         a passive investment, securities of any Competitive Business traded on
         any national securities exchange if the Employee is not a controlling
         person of, nor a member of a group which controls such person and does
         not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities
         of such person. As used herein, the term "COMPETITIVE BUSINESS" shall
         mean any business which competes with the Company in the business of
         primarily providing labor resource management services or products
         relating to information technology professionals by means of
         business-to-business electronic commerce or any business or activity
         that is substantially the same as any business or activity conducted by
         the Company at any time during the Employee's employment with the
         Company within the geographic area that the Company is engaged in such
         business or activity as of the Start Date or upon such date that the
         Employee ceases to receive salary or severance payments from the
         Company (including, without limitation, any subsidiary thereof).

                  (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to

consultant to, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or in connection with
a directorship

                                       14
<PAGE>

held by the Employee on or prior to the Start Date, shall not be deemed to
violate the provisions of this Agreement.

                  (c) The Employee is aware that the services performed by him
for the Company are of a special, unique and intellectual character and
understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit his ability to earn a
livelihood in a Competitive Business, but he nevertheless believes that he has
received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits in
connection with his employment to clearly justify such restrictions which, in
any event, the Employee does not believe would prevent him from earning a
living. Nothing herein contained shall prohibit the Employee from engaging in a
business that is not a Competitive Business.

         SECTION 12.       NON-DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION.

                  The Employee understands that he will have access to
Confidential Information relating to the Company and agrees that he will not, at
any time during or after the Employment Period, disclose to any person, firm,
corporation or other entity, except as required by law, any Confidential
Information concerning the business, clients or affairs of the Company or any
subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or of any person which the Company or any of
its subsidiaries is under an obligation to keep secret or confidential, for any
reason or purpose whatsoever other than in furtherance of the Employee's good
faith performance of his duties as an employee of the Company, nor shall the
Employee make use of any of such Confidential Information for his own purpose or
for the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other business entity except
the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof. For purposes of this
Agreement, "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" shall include, without limitation,
products or services, fees, costs, pricing schedules, designs, analyses,
drawings, photographs, reports, computer software and hardware (including
operating systems, applications and program listings), customers and clients,
customer and client lists, marketing plans and related information, sales plans
and related information, operating policies and manuals, business plans,
financial records or practice management methods, inventions, devices, new
developments, methods and processes, technology or trade secrets, know-how or
techniques, whether patentable or unpatentatable and whether or not reduced to
practice, and all similar and related information in whatever form.

Company prior to any termination of employment (whether or not during usual
working hours).

                  (b) The Employee shall promptly, without charge and at the
expense of the Company, at all times hereafter execute and deliver such
applications, assignments, descriptions and other instruments as may be
reasonably necessary or proper in the reasonable opinion of the Company to (i)
vest title to and enforce patents, copyrights, trademarks, improvements,
technical information and methods and other rights and protections relating to
the Inventions and (ii) to assign or otherwise establish such ownership of the
Company in all rights in or to such Business Opportunities, and to enable the
Company to obtain and maintain the entire right and title thereto in any and all
countries; and

                  (c) The Employee shall render to the Company at its expense
(including a reasonable payment for the time involved in case he is not then in
its employ) all such assistance as it may reasonably require at times and
locations agreed to by the Company and the Employer in the (i) prosecution of
applications for the Inventions, in the prosecution or defense or interferences
which may be declared involving the Inventions and in any litigation in which
the Company may be involved relating to the Inventions, each including, without
limitation, the execution of assignments, consents, powers of attorney,
applications and other instruments and the giving of testimony in support
thereof or (ii) confirmation and protection of such ownership of the Company in
all rights in or to any Business Opportunities, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such
assistance shall not interfere with the Employee's employment or business
activities.

                  (d) The Employee shall deliver to the Company at the
termination of the Employment Period, or upon the request of the Company, at any
time, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software
and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential
Information, Inventions, Business Opportunities or the business of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, which he may then possess or have under his control,
regardless of the location or form of such material and, if requested by the
Company, shall provide the Company with written confirmation that all such
materials have been delivered to the Company.

         SECTION 14.       ENFORCEMENT.

                  It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the
provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible
under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which
enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this
Agreement shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision
shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be
invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the
operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such
adjudication is made; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement shall be adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable because such provision is held to be excessively broad as to
duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, such provision shall be
deemed amended by limiting and reducing it so as to be valid and enforceable to
the maximum extent compatible with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction,
such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of such provision in
the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

         SECTION 15.       EXCISE TAXES.

                  To the extent that any of the payments and benefits provided
for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Employee constitute "parachute
payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and, but for this Section 15, would be subject to
the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Employee's benefits
under this Agreement shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) to such lesser
amount as would result in no portion of severance payments being subject to
excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, which ever of the foregoing amounts,
taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and
excise tax imposed by Section

                                       17
<PAGE>

4999, results in the receipt by the Employee on an after tax basis of the
greatest amount of severance benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement,
notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be
taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and the Employee
otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall
be made in writing by an independent public accounting firm selected by the
Employee and reasonably acceptable to the Company other than that used by the
Company (the Accountants), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding
upon the Employee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the
calculations required by this Section 15, the Accountants may make reasonable
assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on
reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Section
280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Employee shall furnish to the
Accountants such information as the Accountants may reasonably request in order
to make a determination under this Section 15 The Company shall bear all costs
the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations
contemplated by this Section 15.

         SECTION 16.       REMEDIES; SURVIVAL.

                  (a) The Employee acknowledges and understands that the
provisions of this Agreement are of a special and unique nature, the loss of
which cannot be accurately compensated for in damages by an action at law, and
that the breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause the Company
irreparable harm. In the event of a breach by the Employee of the provisions of
Section 11, 12, or 13 hereof, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction
restraining him from such breach; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, nothing herein contained
shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies
available for any breach of this Agreement.

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, the provisions of Sections 9 through 18, including this Section
16, shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement until,
by their terms, such provisions are no longer operative.

                  (c) It is understood and agreed that the provisions of
Sections 11, 12 and 13 of this Agreement are separate and distinct from any
other agreement between the parties hereto. Accordingly, in the event of a
breach of such provisions, the breaching party shall only be held responsible
for damages arising under such

                                       18
<PAGE>

provisions and not for any damages which may be claimed to arise under or with
respect to any other agreement that is not separately breached.

         SECTION 17.       NOTICES.

                  All notices, demands or other communications to be given or
delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made when (i) delivered

         SECTION 18.       GENERAL PROVISIONS.

                  (a) BINDING AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee's personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees and
devisees. If the Employee should die while any amount would still be payable to
him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise
provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to
the beneficiary designated by the Employee in a writing delivered to the
Company, or if there be no such designated beneficiary, to his estate.

                  (b) GOVERNING LAW AND CHOICE OF JURISDICTION AND VENUE. THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS ENTERED INTO AND
FULLY PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK BY RESIDENTS OF THE

                                       20
<PAGE>

STATE OF NEW YORK. WITH RESPECT TO ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT WITH
RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY (I) SUBMITS TO
THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR FEDERAL
COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN NEW YORK, (II) WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, (III) WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT SUCH PROCEEDING HAS BEEN
BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND (IV) FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT,
WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDINGS, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION
OVER SUCH PARTY.

                  (c) WAIVER OF BREACH. The waiver by either party of a breach
of any provision of this Agreement by the other party must be in writing and
shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such
other party.

                  (d) COMPLETE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS; PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This
Agreement amends and restates the Existing Employment Agreement in its entirety
and this Agreement, together with the Stock Option Agreements and the other
agreements referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersede all prior
agreements or understandings written or oral between the parties with respect
thereto. The parties hereto hereby forever release any and all rights under the
Existing Employment Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented,
canceled or discharged except by written instrument executed by both parties
hereto.

                  (e) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

                  (f) BUSINESS DAYS. If any time period for giving notice or
taking action hereunder expires on a day which is not a Business Day, the time
period for giving notice or taking action shall be automatically extended to the
immediately following Business Day.

                  (g) HEADINGS. The section headings contained in this Agreement
are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.

                                       21
<PAGE>

                  (h) SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                  (i) ASSIGNMENT. With respect to the Employee, this Agreement
is personal in its nature and the Employee shall not assign or transfer this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder. The Company may in its sole
discretion assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement and the provisions hereof
(including, without limitation, Sections 11, 12 and 13) shall inure to the
benefit of, and be binding upon, each successor of the Company, whether by
merger, consolidation, transfer of all or substantially all assets, or
otherwise.

                  (j) NOUNS AND PRONOUNS. Whenever the context may require, any
pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or
neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the
plural and vice-versa.

                  (k) CONSTRUCTION. Where specific language (such as the word
"INCLUDING") is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein,
such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any
manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The
language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the
parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict
construction shall be applied against any party hereto. The parties hereto have
participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the
event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this
Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

                  (l) DELIVERY BY FACSIMILE. This Agreement, the agreements
referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in
connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any
amendments or supplements hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered
by means of a facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as
an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same
binding legal effect as if

                                       22
<PAGE>

it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request
of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party
hereto or thereto shall reexecute original forms thereof and deliver them to all
other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall
raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a signature or the fact that any
signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the
use of a facsimile machine as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a
contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

                  (m) INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify the Employee
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and its certificate of
incorporation and by-laws against all costs, charges and expenses incurred or
sustained by the Employee in connection with his employment with the Company,
other than as a result of actions taken by him in bad faith or due to his gross
negligence. This indemnification obligation shall survive termination of this
Agreement. In addition, during the Employment Period, the Company shall continue
to maintain, and shall cover the Employee under, its Directors and Officers
Liability Insurance and Errors and Omissions Insurance at coverage levels which
are no less than those currently in effect.

                  (n) COSTS AND EXPENSES OF AGREEMENT. All reasonable costs and
expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Employee
in negotiating the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any agreements
ancillary to this Agreement shall be promptly reimbursed to the Employee by the
Company together with a tax gross-up payment to cover all taxes due on such
payment upon submission of an invoice therefor.

                  (o) ARBITRATION. Prior to the commencement of any legal action
to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to resolve any dispute arising
under this Agreement, the Company and the Employee agree to notify the other for
the purpose of determining whether the parties will agree to submit any such
dispute to mediation or arbitration on mutually agreeable terms; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Company does not need to notify the Employee of its intent to
file a legal action for a breach of Sections 12 or 13 hereof, nor must the
Company seek to mediate or arbitrate any such dispute. Nothing in this Section
18(o) shall require the parties to mediate or arbitrate any disputes arising
under this Employment Agreement.
