     they  may be  amended  from  time  to  time,  to the  extent  permitted  by
     applicable   law;   provided,    however,   that,    notwithstanding   such
     indemnification  provisions,  Employee  shall not be required to serve as a

     covered  by a policy of  directors'  and  officers'  errors  and  omissions
     insurance policy, having coverage in the amount of $5 million.

     3. Sick Leave and Disability.

          3.1 During the Term,  in the event that Employee  shall,  by reason of
     illness or other  physical or mental  disability,  be unable to perform his

     to be permanent  (a  "Permanent  Disability"),  and  Employee's  employment
     hereunder  shall  thereupon  terminate,  and,  subject to the provisions of
     Section  3.3  hereof,  the  Company  shall  have  no  further   obligations
     whatsoever  to  Employee,  except  pursuant  to the  Option and to make the

     long as Employee remains permanently  disabled in amounts equal to at least
     seventy  percent  (70%)  of  Employee's  salary  paid as  provided  in this
     Agreement,  the Company shall make disability  payments monthly to Employee
     for so long as Employee remains permanently  disabled in an amount equal to
     the excess of seventy  percent  (70%) of  Employee's  Base  Salary over the
     percentage  of Employee's  Base Salary paid under the Company's  disability
     insurance plan.

     4. Termination of Employee's Employment.

          4.1 Termination by the Company due to Death,  Permanent  Disability or
     other than for Cause. If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company
     due to Employee's death or Permanent Disability or other than for Cause (as
     defined below),  then (i) the Company shall continue to pay Employee's Base
     Salary and to provide  Employee with medical,  dental and life insurance on
     the same basis as  provided  to active  executives  of the  Company for the
     remainder  of the Term,  subject to the terms of any third party  agreement
     relating to the provision of such benefits;  and (ii) the Company shall pay
     Employee the Accrued Obligations (as defined below).

          4.2  Termination  by the Company for Cause or by Employee.  Except for
     the payment of any Accrued Obligations,  in the event of the termination of
     Employee's  employment  by the Company for Cause or by the Employee for any
     reason,  the Company shall have no further  obligation  or liability  under
     this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean: (i) the
     plea of guilty or nolo  contendere to, or conviction for, the commission of
     a felony offense by Employee; provided, however, that after indictment, the
     Company may suspend  Employee,  but without  limiting or  modifying  in any
     other way the Company's  obligations under this Agreement;  (ii) a material
     breach  by  Employee  of a  fiduciary  duty  owed to the  Company;  (iii) a
     material  breach  by  Employee  of any of the  covenants  made by  Employee
     herein;  or (iv) the willful or gross  neglect by Employee of the  material
     duties required by this Agreement.

          4.3  Mitigation;  Offset.  In the event of  termination  of Employee's
     employment prior to the end of the Term, Employee shall use reasonable best
     efforts to seek other  employment and to take other  reasonable  actions to
     mitigate the amounts payable under Section 4.1 hereof.  If Employee obtains
     other  employment  during the Term,  the  amount of any  payment or benefit
     provided for under Section 4.1 hereof which has been paid to Employee shall
     be  refunded  to  the  Company  by  Employee  in an  amount  equal  to  any
     compensation  earned by Employee as a result of employment with or services
     provided to another  employer  after the date of Employee's  termination of
     employment  and prior to the otherwise  applicable  expiration of the Term,
     and all future  amounts  payable  by the  Company  to  Employee  during the
     remainder of the Term shall be offset by the amount earned by Employee from
     such other employer.  For purposes of this Section 4.3, Employee shall have
     an obligation to inform the Company regarding Employee's  employment status
     following termination and during the period encompassing the Term.

     Obligations"  shall  mean the sum of (i) any  portion  of  Employee's  Base
     Salary  through  the date of death or  termination  of  employment  for any
     reason,  as the case may be,  which  has not yet  been  paid;  and (ii) any
     compensation  (excluding  the  Option)  previously  earned but  deferred by
     Employee  (together with any interest or earnings thereon) that has not yet
     been paid.

     5. Confidential Information; Non-Solicitation; Proprietary Rights.

          5.1 Confidentiality. Employee acknowledges that, while employed by the
     Company, Employee will occupy a position of trust and confidence.  Employee
     shall not, except as may be required to perform Employee's duties hereunder
     or as required by applicable law, without  limitation in time or until such
     information shall have become public other than by Employee's  unauthorized
     disclosure,  disclose to others or use, whether directly or indirectly, any
     Confidential  Information  regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries
     or affiliates.  "Confidential Information" shall mean information about the
     Company or any of its  subsidiaries  or  affiliates,  or their  clients and
     customers  that is not disclosed by the Company or any of its  subsidiaries
     or  affiliates  for  financial  reporting  purposes and that was learned by
     Employee  in the  course  of  employment  with  the  Company  or any of its
     subsidiaries of affiliates,  including, without limitation, any proprietary
     knowledge,  trade  secrets,  data,  formulae,  information  and  client and
     customer lists and all papers,  resumes,  and records  (including  computer
     records) of documents  containing such Confidential  Information.  Employee
     acknowledges that such Confidential  Information is specialized,  unique in
     nature  and  of  great  value  to  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  or
     affiliates,   and  that  such   information   gives  the  Company  and  its
     subsidiaries  or affiliates a  competitive  advantage.  Employee  agrees to
     deliver or return to the Company,  at the Company's  request at any time or
     upon  termination  or  expiration  of  Employee's  employment  or  as  soon
     thereafter as possible,  all documents,  computer tapes and disks, records,
     lists,  data,  drawings,  prints,  notes and written  information  (and all
     copies thereof)  furnished by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates
     or  prepared  by Employee  in the course of  Employee's  employment  by the
     Company  or its  subsidiaries  or  affiliates.  As used in this  Agreement,
     "subsidiaries"  and  "affiliates"  shall mean any  company  controlled  by,
     controlling or under common control with the Company.

          5.2  Consulting  Services.  During  the  two  year  period  commencing
     immediately  upon the  termination of Employee's  employment for any reason
     (other than Employee's death) (the "Consulting Period"),  Employee shall be
     available  for  consultation  with the  Company  and its  subsidiaries  and
     affiliates  concerning their general operations and the industries in which
     they  engage in  business.  In  addition,  during  the  Consulting  Period,
     Employee will aid, assist and consult with the Company and its subsidiaries
     and  affiliates  with  respect  to  their  dealings  with  clients  and the
     enhancement  of their  recognition  and  reputation.  During the Consulting
     Period,  Employee  shall  devote such time and energy to the affairs of the
     Company and its subsidiaries  and affiliates as may be reasonably  required
     to carry out his duties  hereunder  without  jeopardizing  Employee's  then
     full-time,  non-Company employment opportunities;  provided,  however, that
     Employee  shall not be obligated  to devote more than  50 hours per year to
     the performance of such duties.  In consideration of Employee's  consulting
     services,  and in consideration of Employee's  covenants  contained in this
     Section 5,  the Company shall pay to Employee $30,000 during each full year
     of the  Consulting  Period,  payable  in equal  monthly  installments.  The
     Company  further  agrees  to  reimburse  Employee  for all  reasonable  and
     necessary  business expenses incurred by Employee in the performance of his
     consulting services in accordance with the Company's  reimbursement policy,
     including,  without  limitation,  the submission of supporting  evidence as
     reasonably required by the Company.

          5.3 Non-Competition.  (a) During the Term, Employee shall not, without
     the prior written consent of the Company,  directly or indirectly engage in
     or assist any activity which is the same as, similar to or competitive with
     the business of the Company  (other than on behalf of the Company or any of
     its subsidiaries or affiliates) including, without limitation, whether such
     engagement or assistance is as an officer, director, proprietor,  employee,
     partner,  investor  (other  than  as a  holder  of  less  than  5%  of  the
     outstanding  capital stock of a  publicly-traded  corporation),  guarantor,
     consultant,  advisor,  agent,  sales  representative or other  participant,
     anywhere  in the  world  that the  Company  or any of its  subsidiaries  or
     affiliates  has been  engaged;  provided  that the  Employee may serve as a
     director or guarantor or be an investor  with respect to such a business to
     the extent he holds  such  status on the  Effective  Date and to the extent
     such positions are set forth on Schedule I hereto.

          (b) In the event the Employee's  employment hereunder is terminated by
     the  Employee  for any reason or by the  Company  pursuant  to Section  4.2
     hereof,  the  Employee  shall  not for a period  of  24 months  thereafter,
     without the prior  written  consent of the Company,  directly or indirectly
     engage in or assist any  activity  which  provides  third party  e-commerce
     services to  clientele of the type  serviced by the Company  (other than on
     behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates)  including,
     without limitation, whether such engagement or assistance is as an officer,
     director,  proprietor,  employee, partner, investor (other than as a holder
     of less  than 5% of the  outstanding  capital  stock  of a  publicly-traded
     corporation),  guarantor,  consultant, advisor, agent, sales representative
     or other participant,  anywhere in the world that the Company or any of its
     subsidiaries or affiliates has been engaged in such activity; provided that
     the Employee  may serve as a director or  guarantor or be an investor  with
     respect  to such a  business  to the  extent  he holds  such  status on the
     Effective Date and to the extent such positions are set forth on Schedule I
     hereto  (collectively,   "Competitive  Activities").   Notwithstanding  the
     foregoing,  nothing herein shall limit Employee's  ability to own interests
     in or manage  entities  which  engage in the  business of the Company as an
     incidental part of their primary  business and which do not hold themselves
     out generally as competitors of the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  or
     affiliates.

          (c) In the event the Employee's  employment hereunder is terminated by
     the  Company  other than for Cause  pursuant  to Section  4.1  hereof,  the
     Employee shall not for a period of 15 months thereafter,  without the prior
     written consent of the Company,  directly or indirectly engage in or assist
     any Competitive Activities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  nothing herein
     shall limit Employee's ability to own interests in or manage entities which
     engage  in the  business  of the  Company  as an  incidental  part of their
     primary  business  and  which  do not  hold  themselves  out  generally  as
     competitors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

          (d) In the event the Employee's  employment with the Company continues
     through the second  anniversary  of the Effective  Date and the  Employee's
     employment  with the Company is thereafter  terminated for any reason,  the
     Employee shall not for a period of 12 months thereafter,  without the prior
     written consent of the Company,  directly or indirectly engage in or assist
     any Competitive Activities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  nothing herein
     shall limit Employee's ability to own interests in or manage entities which
     engage  in the  business  of the  Company  as an  incidental  part of their
     primary  business  and  which  do not  hold  themselves  out  generally  as
     competitors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
<PAGE>
          5.4  Non-Solicitation  of Employees.  Employee recognizes that he will
     possess  confidential  information about other employees of the Company and
     its  subsidiaries or affiliates  relating to their  education,  experience,
     skills,   abilities,   compensation   and  benefits,   and   inter-personal
     relationships  with  suppliers  to and  customers  of the  Company  and its
     subsidiaries  or affiliates.  Employee  recognizes  that the information he
     will possess  about these other  employees is not  generally  known,  is of
     substantial  value to the Company and its  subsidiaries  or  affiliates  in
     developing  their  respective  businesses  and in  securing  and  retaining
     customers,  and will be acquired by Employee because of Employee's business
     position with the Company.  Employee agrees that, during the Term, Employee
     will not,  directly or  indirectly,  solicit or recruit any employee of the
     Company or any of its  subsidiaries  or affiliates for the purpose of being
     employed by Employee or by any  business,  individual,  partnership,  firm,
     corporation or other entity on whose behalf Employee is acting as an agent,
     representative  or  employee  and that  Employee  will not  convey any such
     confidential  information  or trade  secrets  about other  employees of the
     Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to any other person except
     within the scope of Employee's duties hereunder.

          5.5 Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the Term, Employee shall not
     solicit  any  customers  of the  Company  or any  of  its  subsidiaries  or
     affiliates or encourage (regardless of whom initiates the contact) any such
     customers  to use the  facilities  or  services  of any  competitor  of the
     Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

          5.6 Proprietary  Rights;  Assignment.  All Employee  Developments  (as
     defined  below)  shall be made for hire by the  Employee for the Company or
     any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.  "Employee  Developments"  means any
     idea,  discovery,   invention,  design,  method,  technique,   improvement,
     enhancement,  development,  computer program,  machine,  algorithm or other
     work or  authorship  that (i) relates to the business or  operations of the
     Company or any of its  subsidiaries or affiliates,  or (ii) results from or
     is suggested by any undertaking  assigned to the Employee or work performed
     by the Employee for or on behalf of the Company or any of its  subsidiaries
     or  affiliates,  whether  created  alone or with  others,  during  or after
     working hours. All Confidential  Information and all Employee  Developments
     shall  remain  the sole  property  of the  Company or its  subsidiaries  or
     affiliates.  The  Employee  shall  acquire no  proprietary  interest in any
     Confidential  Information  or Employee  Developments  developed or acquired
     during the Term or during  Employee's  employment with the Company's or its
     subsidiaries or predecessors. To the extent that Employee may, by operation
     of law or  otherwise,  acquire  any right,  title or  interest in or to any
     Confidential  Information  or Employee  Development,  the  Employee  hereby
     assigns to the Company all such  proprietary  rights.  The Employee  shall,
     both  during  and after  the Term,  upon the  Company's  request,  promptly
     execute and deliver to the Company all such  assignments,  certificates and
     instruments, and shall promptly perform such other acts, as the Company may
     from  time  to  time in its  discretion  deem  necessary  or  desirable  to
     evidence,  establish,  maintain,  perfect,  enforce or defend the Company's
     rights in Confidential Information and Employee Developments.

          5.7  Compliance  with Policies and  Procedures.  During his employment
     hereunder,   Employee  shall  adhere  to  the  policies  and  standards  of
     professionalism  set forth in the Company's Policies and Procedures as they
     may exist from time to time.

          5.8 Remedies for Breach.  Employee  expressly  agrees and  understands
     that the remedy at law for any breach by Employee of this Section 5 will be
     inadequate  and that  damages  flowing  from such  breach  are not  usually
     susceptible  to  being  measured  in  monetary  terms.  Accordingly,  it is
     acknowledged  that  upon  Employee's  violation  of any  provision  of this
     Section  5 the  Company  shall be  entitled  to  obtain  from any  court of
     competent  jurisdiction  immediate  injunctive relief and a temporary order
     restraining  any  threatened  or  further  breach  as well as an  equitable
     accounting  of all  profits  or  benefits  arising  out of such  violation.
     Nothing in this Section 5 shall be deemed to limit the  Company's  remedies
     at law or in equity for any breach by Employee of any of the  provisions of
     this Section 5, which may be pursued by or available to the Company.

          5.9 Survival of Provision. The obligations contained in this Section 5
     shall survive the  termination or expiration of Employee's  employment with
     the Company and, as applicable,  shall be fully  enforceable  thereafter in
     accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If it is determined by a court
     of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this Section
     5 is excessive  in duration or scope or is  unreasonable  or  unenforceable
     under the laws of such state,  it is the intention of the parties that such
     restriction  may  be  modified  or  amended  by  the  court  to  render  it
     enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of such state.

     6. Miscellaneous.

          6.1 Termination of Prior  Agreements.  This Agreement  constitutes the
     entire agreement  between the parties and terminates and supersedes any and
     all prior agreements and  understandings  (whether written or oral) between
     the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.  Employee
     acknowledges  and agrees that neither the Company nor anyone  acting on its
     behalf has made, and is not making,  and in executing this  Agreement,  the

     Agreement.  Employee  hereby  represents and warrants that by entering into
     this Agreement, Employee will not rescind or otherwise breach an employment
     agreement with Employee's  current employer prior to the natural expiration

     references herein to the "Company" shall refer to such successor.

          6.3  Withholding.  The Company shall make such deductions and withhold

     relinquishment  of, or failure to insist upon strict  compliance  with, any

1. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE'S EMPLOYMENT.

     (a) DEATH. In the event  Employee's  employment  hereunder is terminated by
reason  of  Employee's  death,  the  Company  shall  pay  Employee's  designated
beneficiary or  beneficiaries,  within 30 days of Employee's death in a lump sum
in cash,  Employee's  Base  Salary  through  the end of the month in which death
occurs and any Accrued Obligations (as defined in paragraph 1(f) below).

     (b) DISABILITY. If, as a result of Employee's incapacity due to physical or
mental  illness  ("Disability"),  Employee  shall  have  been  absent  from  the
full-time performance of Employee's duties with the Company for a period of four
consecutive  months  and,  within 30 days after  written  notice is  provided to
Employee by the Company (in  accordance  with Section 6 hereof),  Employee shall
not have returned to the full-time performance of Employee's duties,  Employee's
employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the Company for Disability.
During any period prior to such termination during which Employee is absent from
the  full-time  performance  of  Employee's  duties  with  the  Company  due  to
Disability, the Company shall continue to pay Employee's Base Salary at the rate
in effect  at the  commencement  of such  period  of  Disability,  offset by any
amounts  payable  to  Employee  under any  disability  insurance  plan or policy
provided by the  Company.  Upon  termination  of  Employee's  employment  due to
Disability,  the Company shall pay Employee  within 30 days of such  termination
(i)  Employee's  Base Salary  through the end of the month in which  termination
occurs in a lump sum in cash,  offset by any amounts  payable to Employee  under
any disability  insurance plan or policy  provided by the Company;  and (ii) any
Accrued Obligations (as defined in paragraph 1(f) below).

     (c) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate Employee's  employment
under this  Agreement for Cause at any time prior to the expiration of the Term.
As used herein,  "Cause" shall mean:  (i) the plea of guilty or nolo  contendere
to, or conviction for, the commission of a felony offense by Employee; provided,

of a fiduciary duty owed to the Company;  (iii) a material breach by Employee of

without further obligation by the Company, except for the payment of any Accrued
Obligations (as defined in paragraph 1(f) below).

     (d)  TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY OTHER THAN FOR DEATH,  DISABILITY OR CAUSE.
If Employee's  employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than

employment  prior to the end of the Term,  Employee  shall use  reasonable  best
efforts  to seek  other  employment  and to take  other  reasonable  actions  to
mitigate the amounts payable under Section 1  hereof.  If Employee obtains other
employment  during the Term,  the amount of any payment or benefit  provided for
under Section 1  hereof which has been paid to Employee shall be refunded to the
Company by Employee in an amount equal to any compensation earned by Employee as
a result of employment with or services  provided to another  employer after the
date  of  Employee's  termination  of  employment  and  prior  to the  otherwise
applicable expiration of the Term, and all future amounts payable by the Company
to  Employee  during  the  remainder  of the Term  shall be offset by the amount
earned by Employee  from another  employer.  For purposes of this Section  1(e),
Employee  shall have an  obligation to inform the Company  regarding  Employee's
employment status following  termination and during the period  encompassing the
Term.

     (f) ACCRUED OBLIGATIONS.  As used in this Agreement,  "Accrued Obligations"
shall mean the sum of (i) any portion of Employee's Base Salary through the date
of death or termination of employment for any reason,  as the case may be, which
has not yet been paid; and (ii) any compensation  previously earned but deferred
by Employee  (together  with any interest or earnings  thereon) that has not yet
been paid.

2. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; NON-SOLICITATION; AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.

     (a)  CONFIDENTIALITY.  Employee  acknowledges  that while  employed  by the
Company Employee will occupy a position of trust and confidence.  Employee shall
not,  except as may be required to perform  Employee's  duties  hereunder  or as
required by applicable law, without limitation in time or until such information
shall have  become  public  other than by  Employee's  unauthorized  disclosure,
disclose to others or use,  whether  directly or  indirectly,  any  Confidential
Information  regarding  the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  or  affiliates.
"Confidential  Information"  shall mean information  about the Company or any of
its  subsidiaries  or  affiliates,  and their clients and customers  that is not
disclosed by the Company or any of its  subsidiaries or affiliates for financial
reporting  purposes and that was learned by Employee in the course of employment
by the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  or  affiliates,  including  (without
limitation)  any  proprietary   knowledge,   trade  secrets,   data,   formulae,

Information.   Employee  acknowledges  that  such  Confidential  Information  is
specialized,  unique  in  nature  and of  great  value  to the  Company  and its
subsidiaries or affiliates,  and that such information gives the Company and its
subsidiaries or affiliates a competitive  advantage.  Employee agrees to deliver
or  return  to the  Company,  at the  Company's  request  at any  time  or  upon
termination  or  expiration of  Employee's  employment or as soon  thereafter as
possible,  all  documents,  computer  tapes and  disks,  records,  lists,  data,
drawings,  prints,  notes  and  written  information  (and all  copies  thereof)

subsidiaries  or  affiliates.  As  used in this  Agreement,  "subsidiaries"  and

indirectly,  on behalf  of  Employee  or on behalf of or with any other  person,

participate  in any  business  that is in  competition  with any  subsidiary  or
affiliate  of the  Company  in the  United  States of  America  in the fields of
Internet,  on-line,  video or electronic  retailing.  Additionally,  in order to
avoid  possible  disclosure of trade secrets of the Company,  Employee shall not

that  Employee  learned  while  employed by the Company or any of the  Company's
predecessors.

     (c) NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. Employee recognizes that he will possess
confidential   information   about  other  employees  of  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries  or affiliates  relating to their  education,  experience,  skills,
abilities,  compensation and benefits,  and  inter-personal  relationships  with
suppliers to and customers of the Company and its  subsidiaries  or  affiliates.
Employee  recognizes  that the  information  he will  possess  about these other
employees is not generally known, is of substantial value to the Company and its
subsidiaries  or affiliates in developing  their  respective  businesses  and in
securing and retaining  customers,  and will be acquired by Employee  because of
Employee's business position with the Company.  Employee agrees that, during the
Term (and for a period of 12 months beyond the expiration of the Term), Employee
will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company
or any of its  subsidiaries  or affiliates  for the purpose of being employed by
Employee or by any business, individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other
entity  on whose  behalf  Employee  is acting  as an  agent,  representative  or
employee and that Employee will not convey any such confidential  information or
trade secrets about other employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates  to any other person  except  within the scope of  Employee's  duties
hereunder.

     (d) NON-SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS.  Further, during, and for a period of 12
months after  termination of, Employee's  employment with the Company,  Employee
will not use trade  secrets to directly or  indirectly  take away  suppliers  or
customers of the Company for Employee's  benefit or for the benefit of any other
party.

     (e) PROPRIETARY RIGHTS; ASSIGNMENT. All Employee Developments shall be made

affiliates.  "Employee  Developments"  means  any  idea,  discovery,  invention,

subsidiaries  or  affiliates,  whether  created alone or with others,  during or
after working hours. All Confidential  Information and all Employee Developments

                                       3

shall  remain the sole  property  of the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  or
affiliates.   The  Employee  shall  acquire  no  proprietary   interest  in  any
Confidential  Information or Employee Developments  developed or acquired during
the Term.  To the extent the Employee  may, by  operation  of law or  otherwise,
acquire any right,  title or interest in or to any  Confidential  Information or
Employee  Development,  the  Employee  hereby  assigns to the  Company  all such
proprietary rights. The Employee shall, both during and after the Term, upon the
Company's  request,  promptly  execute  and  deliver  to the  Company  all  such
assignments, certificates and instruments, and shall promptly perform such other
acts, as the Company may from time to time in its  discretion  deem necessary or
desirable  to  evidence,  establish,  maintain,  perfect,  enforce or defend the
Company's rights in Confidential Information and Employee Developments.

     (f)  COMPLIANCE  WITH POLICIES AND  PROCEDURES.  During the Term,  Employee
shall adhere to the policies and standards of  professionalism  set forth in the
Company's Policies and Procedures as they may exist from time to time.

     (g) REMEDIES FOR BREACH. Employee expressly agrees and understands that the
remedy at law for any breach by Employee of this  Section 2  will be  inadequate
and that damages  flowing from such breach are not usually  susceptible to being
measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, it is acknowledged that upon Employee's
violation of any  provision of this  Section 2  the Company shall be entitled to
obtain from any court of competent  jurisdiction immediate injunctive relief and
obtain a temporary order restraining any threatened or further breach as well as
an  equitable  accounting  of all  profits  or  benefits  arising  out  of  such
violation.  Nothing  in this  Section 2  shall be deemed to limit the  Company's
remedies at law or in equity for any breach by Employee of any of the provisions
of this Section 2, which may be pursued by or available to the Company.

     (h) SURVIVAL OF  PROVISIONS.  The  obligations  contained in this Section 2
shall,  to the extent  provided in this  Section 2, survive the  termination  or
expiration of Employee's  employment with the Company and, as applicable,  shall
be fully enforceable  thereafter in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
If it is determined by a court of competent  jurisdiction  in any state that any
restriction  in  this  Section  2 is  excessive  in  duration  or  scope  or  is
unreasonable or unenforceable  under the laws of that state, it is the intention
of the parties that such  restriction may be modified or amended by the court to
render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state.

3.  TERMINATION  OF PRIOR  AGREEMENTS.  This  Agreement  constitutes  the entire
agreement  between the parties and  terminates  and supersedes any and all prior
agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement,  including, without limitation,
the  letter  agreement  dated June 30,  1999 by and  between  Internet  Shopping
Network LLC and  Employee.  Employee  acknowledges  and agrees that  neither the
Company  nor anyone  acting on its behalf has made,  and is not  making,  and in
executing this Agreement, the Employee has not relied upon, any representations,
promises or inducements  except to the extent the same is expressly set forth in
this Agreement.  Employee  hereby  represents and warrants that by entering into
this  Agreement,  Employee  will not rescind or otherwise  breach an  employment
agreement with Employee's  current employer prior to the natural expiration date
of such agreement

4. ASSIGNMENT;  SUCCESSORS. This Agreement is personal in its nature and none of
the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the others,  assign or transfer
this  Agreement or any rights or  obligations  hereunder,  provided that, in the
event of the merger,  consolidation,  transfer,  or sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company with or to any other individual or entity, this
Agreement shall,  subject to the provisions hereof, be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of such successor and such successor shall discharge and perform all
the promises,  covenants,  duties, and obligations of the Company hereunder, and
all references herein to the "Company" shall refer to such successor.

5. WITHHOLDING. The Company shall make such deductions and withhold such amounts
from each payment and benefit made or provided to Employee hereunder,  as may be
required from time to time by applicable law, governmental regulation or order.

6. HEADING  REFERENCES.  Section  headings in this Agreement are included herein
for  convenience  of  reference  only and  shall not  constitute  a part of this
Agreement for any other  purpose.  References to "this  Agreement" or the use of
the term "hereof"  shall refer to these  Standard  Terms and  Conditions and the
Employment Agreement attached hereto, taken as a whole.

7. WAIVER;  MODIFICATION.  Failure to insist upon strict  compliance with any of
the terms,  covenants, or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such
term,  covenant,  or condition,  nor shall any waiver or  relinquishment  of, or
failure to insist upon strict  compliance  with, any right or power hereunder at
any one or more  times be deemed a waiver  or  relinquishment  of such  right or
power at any other time or times.  This  Agreement  shall not be modified in any
respect  except by a writing  executed  by each  party  hereto.  Notwithstanding
anything  to the  contrary  herein,  neither  the  assignment  of  Employee to a
different Reporting Officer due to a reorganization or an internal restructuring
of the  Company  or its  affiliated  companies  nor a change in the title of the
Reporting Officer shall constitute a modification or a breach of this Agreement.

8. SEVERABILITY.  In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that any portion of this  Agreement is in violation of any law or public policy,
only the portions of this Agreement that violate such law or public policy shall
be stricken.  All portions of this  Agreement that do not violate any statute or
public policy shall continue in full force and effect.  Further, any court order
striking  any  portion of this  Agreement  shall  modify the  stricken  terms as
narrowly as possible to give as much effect as possible to the intentions of the
parties under this Agreement.

9.  INDEMNIFICATION.  The Company shall indemnify and hold Employee harmless for
acts and omissions in Employee's capacity as an officer, director or employee of
the Company to the maximum extent  permitted  under  applicable  law;  provided,
however,  that neither the Company,  nor any of its  subsidiaries  or affiliates
shall indemnify Employee for any losses incurred by Employee as a result of acts
described in Section 1(c) of this Agreement.
