         3.     Dividend Provisions.
                -------------------

                (a)      Dividends.
                         ---------

                         (i)     Cash Dividends. The Corporation shall pay,
                and the Holders of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred
                Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared
                by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available
                therefor, cumulative dividends on each share of Series C
                Preferred Stock at a rate per annum equal to ten percent
                (10%) of the Liquidation Value per share of Series C
                Preferred Stock, accruable quarterly on each of the Dividend
                Accrual Dates, payable only in cash. All cash dividends shall
                be cumulative, whether or not declared, on a daily basis from
                the date of issuance and shall accrue quarterly in arrears on
                each Dividend Accrual Date, commencing on the date of
                issuance. The Board of Directors shall declare and pay such
                accrued dividends at such time and to the extent permitted by
                law, subject to the dividend preference of the Series A
                Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock.

                         (ii)    General Provisions. Each distribution in the
                form of a cash dividend shall be payable to Holders of record
                as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such
                record date, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days preceding
                the relevant Dividend Payment Date, as shall be fixed by the
                Board of Directors of the Corporation. For any period during
                which any share of Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding
                less than a full quarterly dividend period ending on a
                Dividend Accrual Date, the dividends payable shall be
                computed on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve
                30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in the
                period for which the dividends are payable. If any Dividend
                Payment Date for a dividend payable in cash occurs on a day
                that is not a Business Day, any accrued dividends otherwise
                payable on such Dividend Payment Date shall be paid on the
                next succeeding Business Day.

                (b)      Certain Other Non-Cash Distributions. If the
                         ------------------------------------
         Corporation shall at any time, or from time to time, after the
         Purchase Date, declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other
         distribution (including, without limitation, any distribution or
         issuance of stock or other securities or property or rights or
         warrants to subscribe for securities of the Corporation or any of
         its Subsidiaries by way of dividend or spin-off or rights to
         purchase Common Stock or other Junior Securities) on its Common
         Stock, other than (i) dividends payable in cash in an aggregate
         amount in any fiscal year which, when declared, are not expected to
         exceed the net income of the Corporation during such year from
         continuing operations before extraordinary items, as determined in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         consistently applied in accordance with past practice, or (ii) any
         dividend or distribution described in Section 5(c)(i), Section
         5(c)(ii) or Section 5(c)(iii), then, and in each such case (a
         "Triggering Distribution"), each Holder of shares of Series C
         Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation,
         with respect to the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such
         Holder, the same dividend or distribution that such Holder would
         have received if immediately prior to the earlier of such Triggering
         Distribution or any record date therefor such Holder converted all
         of such

                                      2

<PAGE>

         Holder's shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common
         Stock. Any such dividend, distribution or issuance shall be
         declared, ordered, paid or made on the Series C Preferred Stock at
         the later of (i) same time such dividend, distribution or issuance
         is declared, ordered, paid or made on the Common Stock, or (ii) the
         date of issuance of the shares of the applicable Series C Preferred
         Stock.

                (c)      Limitation on Dividends and Other Distributions.
                         -----------------------------------------------
         Unless full cumulative dividends, if any, accrued on all outstanding
         shares of the Series C Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously
         are declared and paid for all periods prior to and ending on the most
         recent Dividend Accrual Date, no dividend shall be declared or paid
         or set aside for payment or other distribution declared or made upon
         the Junior Securities (other than a dividend or distribution paid
         solely in shares of, or warrants, rights or options solely exercisable
         for or convertible into, Junior Securities), nor shall any Junior
         Securities be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any
         consideration, nor may any moneys be paid to or made available for a
         sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such securities,
         by the Corporation, except by conversion into or exchange for Junior
         Securities.

         4.     Liquidation Preference.
                ----------------------

                (a)      In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
         liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation
         ("Liquidation Event"), the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock then
         outstanding shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to
         any distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the
         holders of Common Stock and other Junior Securities by reason of
         their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of (i)
         $1.00, and (ii) all accumulations of accrued but unpaid dividends
         payable in cash pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) on each share of Series
         C Preferred Stock (including an amount equal to a prorated dividend
         pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) for the period from the Dividend Accrual
         Date immediately prior to the receipt of such sum to the date of
         receipt of such sum), with the sum of the amounts referred to in
         clauses (i) and (ii) referred to herein as the "Liquidation Value."
         If upon the occurrence of such Liquidation Event and after
         satisfying the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred
         Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, the assets and funds are not
         sufficient to pay in full the liquidation payments payable to the
         Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, then the Holders of
         outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall share ratably
         in such distribution of assets. Except as provided in this Section
         4(a), Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to
         any additional distribution upon the occurrence of a Liquidation
         Event.

                (b)      After the distribution described in Section 4(a) has
         been paid, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for
         distribution to shareholders shall be distributed among the holders
         of Junior Securities in accordance with their respective rights
         thereto.

                (c)      Neither the consolidation, merger or any other form
         of business combination of the Corporation with or into any other
         person or entity, nor the sale, lease, exchange, conveyance or
         disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the

                                      3

<PAGE>

         Corporation to persons or entities other than the holders of Junior
         Securities shall be deemed to be a Liquidation Event for purposes of
         this Section 4.

         5.     Conversion. The Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall
                ----------
have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):

                (a)      Optional Conversion Rights and Automatic Conversion.
                         ---------------------------------------------------

                         (i)     Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall
                be convertible, at any time and at the option of the Holder
                thereof, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer
                agent for the Series C Preferred Stock, into such number of
                validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
                Stock, free and clear of all pledges, claims, liens, charges,
                encumbrances and security interests of any kind or nature
                whatsoever, as is determined by dividing $1.00 by the
                Conversion Price at the time in effect for such share. The
                "Conversion Price" per share for shares of Series C Preferred
                Stock shall initially be $0.20 and shall be subject to
                adjustment, from time to time after the Purchase Date as set
                forth in Section 5(c).

                         (ii)    Upon conversion of any Series C Preferred
                Stock, payment shall be made for all accrued and unpaid
                dividends under Section 3(a)(i) calculated in accordance with
                Section 3(a)(ii).

                (b)      Mechanics of Conversion. If the Holder of shares of
                         -----------------------
         Series C Preferred Stock desires to exercise such right of
         conversion, such Holder shall give written notice to the Corporation
         (the "Conversion Notice") of that Holder's election to convert a
         stated whole number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the
         "Conversion Shares") into shares of Common Stock, and surrender to
         the Corporation, at its principal office or at such other office or
         agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose, such Holder's
         certificate or certificates evidencing such Conversion Shares. The
         Conversion Notice shall also contain a statement of the name or
         names (with addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for
         Common Stock shall be issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
         Corporation shall not be required to issue any certificates to any
         person other than the Holder thereof unless the Corporation has
         obtained reasonable assurance that such transaction is exempt from
         the registration requirements of, or is covered by an effective
         registration statement under, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
         (the "Act"), and all applicable state securities laws, including, if
         necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Corporation or its legal
         counsel, receipt of an opinion to such effect from counsel
         reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation. In no event would such
         opinion be required if the shares of Common Stock could, upon
         conversion, be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the
         Act. As promptly as practicable, and in any event within five
         business days, after the receipt of the Conversion Notice (the "Date
         of Conversion") and the surrender of the certificate or certificates
         representing the Conversion Shares, the Corporation shall issue and
         deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder of the Conversion
         Shares or his nominee or nominees, (i) a certificate or certificates
         for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
         conversion of such Conversion Shares and (ii) if less than the full
         number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock

                                      4

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

         evidenced by the surrendered certificate or certificates are being
         converted, a new certificate or certificates, of like tenor,
         evidencing the number of shares evidenced by such surrendered
         certificate or certificates less the number of Conversion Shares.
         Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the
         close of business on the Date of Conversion and the certificate or
         certificates representing the Conversion Shares, and the person or
         persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
         conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the holder or
         holders of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the close of
         business on such date.

                (c)      Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock.
                         -----------------------------------------------

                         (i)     If the Corporation should at any time or from
                time to time after the Purchase Date (whether or not any or
                all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been
                issued by the Corporation and are outstanding) fix a record
                date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the
                outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of
                holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or
                other distribution payable in additional shares of Common
                Stock, then, as of such record date (or, if no record date is
                fixed, as of the close of business on the date on which the
                Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating to such
                dividend, distribution, split or subdivision), the Conversion
                Price shall be decreased to equal the product of the
                Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such date
                multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
                number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
                prior thereto and the denominator of which shall be the
                number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
                thereafter.

                         (ii)    If the number of shares of Common Stock
                outstanding at any time or from time to time after the
                Purchase Date (whether or not any or all of the shares of
                Series C Preferred Stock have been issued by the Corporation
                and are outstanding) is decreased by a combination of the
                outstanding shares of Common Stock, then following such
                combination, the Conversion Price shall be increased to equal
                the product of the Conversion Price in effect immediately
                prior thereto multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
                which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
                outstanding immediately prior thereto and the denominator of
                which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
                outstanding immediately thereafter. So long as any shares of
                Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation
                shall not combine any shares of Common Stock unless it
                likewise combines all shares of Common Stock.

                         (iii)   If the Corporation shall at any time and
                from time to time after the Purchase Date (whether or not any
                or all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been
                issued by the Corporation and are outstanding) issue rights
                or warrants to all holders of the Common Stock entitling such
                holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at a price
                per share less than the Current Market Price per share of the
                Common Stock on the record date for the determination of
                stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants,
                then, and in each such

                                      5

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

                case, the number of shares of Common Stock into which each
                share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible shall be
                adjusted so that the holder of each share thereof shall be
                entitled to receive, upon the conversion thereof, the number
                of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the
                number of shares of Common Stock into which such share was
                convertible on the day immediately prior to such record date
                by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1)
                the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
                record date and (2) the number of additional shares of Common
                Stock which such rights or warrants entitle holders of Common
                Stock to subscribe for or purchase ("Offered Shares"), and
                (B) the denominator of which is the sum of (1) the number of
                shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date and (2)
                a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the product of the
                number of Offered Shares multiplied by the subscription or
                purchase price of the Offered Shares and (y) the denominator
                of which is the Current Market Price per share of Common
                Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall become
                effective immediately after such record date.

                         (iv)    If after the Purchase Date (whether or not
                any or all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock have
                been issued by the Corporation and are outstanding) the
                Corporation shall be a party to any transaction, including
                any capital reorganization, reclassification or
                recapitalization involving the Common Stock of the
                Corporation (other than a transaction described in clauses
                (i) and (ii) of this Section 5(c) or in Section 3(b)), or
                some other form of transaction in which the previously
                outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or,
                pursuant to the operation of law or the terms of the
                transaction to which the Corporation is a party, exchanged,
                or would have been changed or exchanged as required by the
                Articles of Incorporation if such Common Stock were
                outstanding, for different securities of the Corporation or
                common stock or other securities of another corporation or
                interests in a non-corporate entity (such other corporation
                or non-corporate entity is referred to herein as the
                "Surviving Entity") or other property (including cash) or any
                combination of the foregoing, then, as a condition to the
                consummation of such transaction, lawful and adequate
                provision shall be made whereby the Holders of the Series C
                Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to receive,
                in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation
                immediately theretofore receivable with respect to the
                conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, such
                shares of stock or securities (such stock and securities are
                referred to herein as the "Surviving Entity Securities") or
                assets as would have been issued or payable with respect to
                or in exchange for the shares of Common Stock which such
                holders would have held had the shares of Series C Preferred
                Stock been converted immediately prior to such transaction.
                In any such case, appropriate provisions shall be made with
                respect to the rights and interests of the Holders of the
                Series C Preferred Stock to the end that such conversion
                rights (including, without limitation, provisions for
                adjustment of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be
                applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to
                any shares of Surviving Entity Securities or assets
                thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof.

                         (i)     No fractional shares shall be issued upon
                conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, and the number of
                shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the
                nearest whole share.

                         (ii)    Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or
                readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series C Preferred
                Stock pursuant to this Section 5, the Corporation, at its
                expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or

                and furnish to each Holder of Series C Preferred Stock and
                each holder of a Convertible Note a certificate setting forth
                such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the
                facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
                The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time
                of any Holder of Series C Preferred Stock or any holder of a
                Convertible Note, furnish or cause to be furnished to such

                and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price at the time in
                effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the
                amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be
                received upon the conversion of a share of Series C Preferred
                Stock.

                (f)      Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by
                         ----------------------

         securities for the purpose of determining the Holders thereof who
         are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or
         other distribution, any right or warrant to subscribe for, purchase

         issue such dividend, distribution, right or warrant described herein

                (g)      Reservation of Securities Issuable upon Conversion.
                         --------------------------------------------------
         The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
         its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the
         purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series C
         Preferred Stock, free from any preemptive right or other obligation,
         such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time
         be sufficient to effect the conversion of all authorized shares of
         the Series C Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of
         authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be
         sufficient to effect the conversion of all authorized shares of the
         Series C Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as
         shall be available to the Holder of such Series C Preferred Stock,
         the Corporation will take such corporate action as may be necessary
         to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to
         such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The
         Corporation shall prepare and shall use commercially reasonable
         efforts to obtain and keep in force such governmental or regulatory
         permits or other authorizations as may be required by law, and shall
         comply with all requirements as to registration, qualification or
         listing of the Common Stock in order to enable the Corporation to
         lawfully issue and deliver to each Holder of record of Series C
         Preferred Stock such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall
         from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
         Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding and convertible into
         shares of Common Stock.

                (h)      Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of
                         -------
         this Section 5 to be given to the Holders of shares of Series C
         Preferred Stock shall only be effective upon receipt and may be

         6.     Redemption. The Series C Preferred Stock may be redeemed, in
                ----------

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

                         (i)     Except as otherwise provided herein, the
                Holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the
                right to elect a number of directors that constitute at any
                given time a majority of the directors of the Corporation
                (the "Investor Directors"). The Holders of Series C Preferred
                Stock shall receive copies of all information and materials
                provided to the directors of the Corporation and any
                Subsidiary of the Corporation or to committee members.
                Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth herein shall
                entitle any Investor Director to participate on any committee
                of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any
                Subsidiary of the Corporation created for the purpose of

                retirement, disqualification or removal from office for other
                cause of such Director.

                (b)      Other Matters. On all other matters that come to a
                         -------------
         vote of the shareholders of the Corporation, the Holder of each
         share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote
         for each share of Common Stock into which such Series C Preferred
         Stock could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such
         Holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting
         rights and powers of holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled,
         notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any shareholder's
         meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation, and shall
         be entitled to vote, together with the holders of Common Stock, with
         respect to any question upon which holders of Common stock have the
         right to vote.

         8.     Protective Provisions.
                ---------------------

                (a)      Class Voting. So long as shares of Series C Preferred
                         ------------
         Stock are outstanding, this Corporation shall not, without first
         obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent) of the Holders
         of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the then
         outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (voting as a class):

                         (i)     alter or change the rights, preferences or
                privileges of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock so as to
                affect adversely the shares;

                         (ii)    increase the number of authorized shares of
                Series C Preferred Stock, or create any new series of stock
                or any other securities convertible into equity securities of
                the Corporation having a preference over, or being on a
                parity with, the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to
                voting, dividends, distribution of assets upon liquidation,
                dissolution, winding up or otherwise or conversion rights;

                         (iii)   amend the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws
                or other organizational documents of the Corporation or take
                any action or enter into any other agreements which, prohibit
                or materially conflict with the Corporation's obligations
                hereunder with respect to the Holders of Series C Preferred
                Stock; or

                         (iv)    engage in a Liquidation Event.

                  (b)    No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment
                         -------------
         of its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational
         documents or through any reorganization, reclassification,
         recapitalization, Liquidation Event, issue or sale of securities or
         any other voluntary action by the Corporation, avoid or seek to
         avoid the

                                      9

<PAGE>

         observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or
         performed hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good
         faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
         Certificate of Designation, and in the taking of all such action as
         may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion
         and other rights of the Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock
         against impairment. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation
         will not effect any transaction described in this Section 8(b), the
         result of which is to adversely affect any of the rights of holders
         of Common Stock relative to the rights of holders of any other
         securities other than the Series C Preferred Stock.

         9.     Stockholder Rights Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision
                -----------------------
of this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, if the Corporation shall
adopt a stockholders rights plan (sometimes known as a "poison pill" plan),
and shall declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution of
rights thereunder with respect to the Common Stock (whether or not separate
from the Common Stock), each Holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation, upon conversion of such
shares of Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5,
all of the rights distributed under such plan (but without any limitation or
restriction or the exercise of such rights that are not also applicable to
holders of Common Stock) fully and to the same extent as if immediately prior
to the earlier of such distribution or any record date therefor such Holder
had then converted all of such Holder's shares of Series C Preferred Stock
into shares of Common Stock. The preceding sentence shall provide the
exclusive protection under this Certificate of Designation to the Holders of
the Series C Preferred Stock (including any adjustments that would otherwise
be required by Section 5(c)) with respect to the subject matter of the
immediately preceding sentence.

         10.    Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Series C
                -------------------------
Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the shares
so converted shall be canceled and thereupon restored to the status of
authorized but unissued Preferred Stock undesignated as to class or series.
Upon payment of all principal and accrued interest of a Convertible Note in
accordance with its terms, the Corporation and its officers may cancel and
retire the number of shares of authorized but unissued shares of Series C
Preferred Stock into which such Convertible Note was convertible and restore
the status of such shares to authorized but unissued Preferred Stock
undesignated as to class or series.

         11.    Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Certificate of
                -------------------
Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series C Preferred Stock, unless the
context otherwise requires:

                         (i)     "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the
                respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2
                under the Exchange Act as such Rule is in effect on the
                Purchase Date.

                         (ii)    "AMCON" shall mean AMCON Distributing
                Company, a Delaware corporation.

                own," any securities:

                         such Rule is in effect on the date of this
                         Agreement), including pursuant to any agreement,

                         General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange
                         Act; or

Bylaws and its Board of Directors ("the Board"), Employee shall have each and
all of the duties and responsibilities of the President and Chief Executive

interfere with the proper performance of Employee's duties and
responsibilities to the Company hereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding,
Employee shall be entitled to serve, as President of Bender Consulting, Inc.

similar business or activities, (i) whether or not such materials and/or
information is reduced to writing, (ii) whether or not the Company advises
Employee that such information should be treated as confidential, (iii)
whether obtained before or after the date of this Agreement, and (iv) whether
obtained through any means or source or from any officer, director, employee,
advisor, consultant, contractor, engineer, agent or representative of the
Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of its other affiliates. Confidential
Information shall include, but is not limited to, information relating to the

and character.

                Confidential information does not include any information
which:

                (i)      was clearly known to the Employee before the date
                         of this Agreement other than through disclosure by
                         the Company or its subsidiaries or their
                         respective authorized representatives;

                (ii)     is now or becomes publicly available, except as a
                         result of a breach of confidentiality of this

                (iii)    is obtained in good faith by Employee from a third
                         party not bound by an obligation of confidentiality
                         and non-disclosure with respect to that information.

                Employee agrees to keep the Confidential Information
strictly confidential and to use his best efforts at all times to safeguard
any Confidential Information from falling into the hands of any unauthorized
persons. Employee agrees that he will not, during the period of employment or
any time thereafter, disclose any Confidential Information, in whole or in
part, directly or indirectly, to (i) any person or entity outside of the
Company, unless specifically instructed to do so by an executive officer of
the Company, and (ii) will be disclosed inside the Company or its
subsidiaries only to that limited number of persons who need to know that
information for the exclusive purpose of performing their employment duties
for the Company or the applicable subsidiary. Employee will use the
Confidential Information only as is required to perform his employment duties
with the Company (the "Services"), and will not otherwise use the
Confidential Information for his own benefit or the benefit of any other
person or entity.

                Employee further agrees that upon termination of employment
with the Company, or upon the Company's request, Employee will (i) terminate
access to and review or use of the Confidential Information, (ii) will
deliver to the Company all originals and copies of documents

                                      4

<PAGE>

and other materials, whether in printed or electronic format (which, in the
case of electronic format, include erasing and permanently destroying any
such information on personal computers or other personal electronic storage
system or device) or otherwise, containing or derived from Confidential
Information (including, without limitation, all written notes or memoranda
memorializing discussions or meetings to the extent those notes or memoranda
include Confidential Information) that are in his possession or control, and
(iii) will not retain any copies thereof. Employee acknowledges that he is
obliged to protect the Confidential Information from disclosure and use even
after termination of his employment.

                (b)      Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. In order for
                         ------------------------------------
the Company reasonably to protect its interests in the competitive use of any
Confidential Information, knowledge or relationships concerning the business
of the Company to which Employee has or will have access because of the
special nature of his employment by the Company, Employee agrees that he will
not, during employment by the Company and a period of two (2) years after the
voluntary or involuntary termination thereof, without the written consent of
the Company, provide services as an officer, director, partner, principal,
employee, independent contractor, agent, representative, consultant or
investor or otherwise assist in any business which is directly or indirectly
in competition with any business in which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries may be engaged in, or is actively pursuing becoming engaged in,
at any time during the term of this Agreement in any geographic area in which
the Company or its subsidiaries are, are actively pursuing, doing business.

period of two (2) years after the date Employee's employment by the Company
is terminated.

                (c)      Reasonableness of Restrictions. Employee
                         ------------------------------
specifically acknowledges and agrees that the terms of paragraph 8(b) are
reasonable in every respect and, in particular, because of the competitive
and specialized nature of the Company's business. Employee represents that
his experience, age, capabilities, health and personal assets are such that
this Agreement does not deprive him from either earning a livelihood in the
unrestricted business activities which remain open to him or from otherwise
adequately and appropriately supporting himself. Finally, Employee
specifically acknowledges that the injury which the Company would suffer from
a breach of this covenant would substantially outweigh whatever limitations
would result to Employee from the enforcement of Employee's promises under
this Agreement. If a court holds that any portion of Section 8(b) is
unenforceable, the maximum restrictions of time, scope of activities, and
geographic area reasonable under the circumstances will be substituted for
any such restrictions held unenforceable.

                (d)      Disclosure and assignment of discoveries. Employee
                         ----------------------------------------
agrees that the Company shall be the owner of all inventions, discoveries,
developments, writings, expressions and ideas, including but not limited to
any and all concepts, improvements, techniques, know-how, innovations,
systems, processes, machines, methods and products of manufacture, works,
information, reports, papers, logos, computer programs, designs, and
marketing materials (whether or not reduced to writing and whether or not
patentable or protectable by copyright), which Employee conceives, develops,
creates, makes, perfects or reduces to practice in whole or in part while
employed by the Company or within six months thereafter, whether or not on
the Company's premises, during normal business hours or using the Company's
materials, Confidential Information or equipment, or other employees or
agents of the Company, and

                                      5

which: (i) directly or indirectly relate to or arise out of Employee's job
responsibilities for the Company, or through use of Company time, materials,
Confidential Information or equipment; (ii) result from research,
development, or other activities of the Company; or (iii) pertain in any
manner to the business or reasonably anticipated business or products of the
Company or its subsidiaries (hereinafter the "Industrial Property"). The
Industrial Property shall be considered "works made for hire" and all rights
therein, including all patent, copyright and other forms of rights, shall be
the sole property of the Company.

                Employee agrees to promptly and fully disclose in writing
to the Company all inventions, discoveries, developments, writings,
expressions and ideas conceived, developed, created, made, perfected or
reduced to practice while employed by the Company, regardless of whether
Employee believes the invention, discovery, development, writing, expression
or idea should be considered Industrial Property of the Company under any
provision of this Agreement, in order to enable the Company to make a
determination as to its rights with respect to the same.

                Any and all information relating to Industrial Property
shall be considered Confidential Information and shall not be disclosed to
any person or entity outside of the Company.

                To the extent that the Company does not automatically own
any Intellectual Property as a work made fore hire, Employee shall assign all
right, title and interest in and to such Industrial Property to the Company.
Employee further agrees to execute and deliver all documents and do all acts
that the Company shall deem necessary or desirable to secure to the Company
or its nominee the entire right, title and interest in and to the Industrial
Property, including executing applications for any United States and/or
foreign patents or copyright registrations. Any document prepared and filed
pursuant to this subsection shall be prepared and filed at the Company's
expense. Employee further agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
necessary to maintain or enforce the Company's rights in the Industrial
Property. The Employee hereby irrevocably appoints the president of the
Company as the Employee's attorney-in-fact with authority to execute for the
Employee and on the Employee's behalf any and all assignments, patent or
copyright applications, or other instruments and documents required to be
executed by the Employee pursuant to this subsection, if the Employee is
unwilling or unable to execute same.

                The Company shall have the sole right and discretion, but
not the obligation, to use, promote, and/or pursue patent or copyright
protection for any of the Industrial Property.

                (e)      Enforcement/Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges
                         -----------------------------
that a violation of the covenants described in this Section 8 would cause
immediate and irreparable harm and damages not easily capable of calculation
to the Company and/or its affiliates. In addition to any and all other rights
and remedies, at law or in equity, which may otherwise be available to the
Company and/or its affiliates, Employee agrees that in the event of a breach
or threatened breach by Employee of any of the covenants set forth in this
Section 8, the Company and/or its affiliates shall be entitled to immediate
injunctive relief (without posting any bond) against (i) any such breach or
threatened breach of Section 8 of this Agreement, and (ii) transacting any
business with any person or entity to whom any Confidential Information has
been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. The prevailing party in an
action to enforce its rights under Section 8

                                      6

of this Agreement shall be entitled to recover from the other party all of
its costs and expenses related thereto (including, without limitation, court
costs and reasonable attorney's fees and expenses). Employee acknowledges and
agrees that during Employee's employment, the Company and/or its affiliates
may enter other lines of business, which are related or unrelated to its
current lines of business, in which case the provisions of this Section 8
shall be deemed to cover such new lines of business.

         9.     Waiver of Modification. Any waiver, alteration or
                ----------------------
modifications of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be valid
unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto. Waiver by either
party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

         10.    Successors and Assigns; Entire Agreement. This Agreement may
                ----------------------------------------
not be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of
the other party hereto. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon any successor or assign of the parties hereto. This Agreement
and the Option Agreement attached hereto constitutes the entire agreement of
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and
supersedes all prior agreements, amendments, memoranda representations or
understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter
hereof between the Company and Employee.

         11.    Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
                --------------
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without
regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof.

         12.    Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under
                -------
this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person or sent via
facsimile, with conformation of receipt, by registered, certified or express
mail, postage and fees prepaid, in the case of the Company, to the
then-current address of its then principal office and, in the case of
Employee, to the then-current address of his office of employment hereunder
or such other address or to the attention of such other person as the
recipient party will have specified by prior written notice to the sending
party.

         13.    Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings for the
                --------------------
paragraphs in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not
constitute a part of this Agreement.

         14.    Negotiated Agreement. This Agreement reflects the
                --------------------
negotiations of both parties hereto. The language used herein 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.

         15.    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
                ------------
Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

         16.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
                ------------
of counterparts, each of which shall be construed as an original for all
purposes, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and same
Agreement.
