                                RECRUITSOFT, INC.

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

         This Indemnification Agreement (the "Agreement") is effective as of ,
by and between Recruitsoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and
(the "Indemnitee").

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of
highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company and its
related entities;

         WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services
to the Company, the Company wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and
the advancement of expenses to, Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by
law;

         WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty
in obtaining liability insurance for the Company's directors, officers,
employees, agents and fiduciaries, the significant increases in the cost of such
insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance;

         WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial
increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers,
employees, agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks at the same time
as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely
limited; and

         WHEREAS, in view of the considerations set forth above, the Company
desires that Indemnitee shall be indemnified and advanced expenses by the
Company as set forth herein;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Indemnitee hereby agree as set
forth below.

         1.       Certain Definitions

                  (a)      "Change in Control" shall mean an event that shall be
deemed to have occurred if, on or after the date of this Agreement, (i) any
"person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), other than a trustee or
other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the company
acting in such capacity or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the
stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of stock of the Company, who becomes the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the total voting power
represented by the Company's then outstanding Voting Securities, (ii) during any
period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period
constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and any new director whose
election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company's
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two thirds (2/3) of the
directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the
period or whose

<PAGE>

election or nomination for election was previously so approved cease for any
reason to constitute a majority thereof, or (iii) the stockholders of the
Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
corporation other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the
Voting Securities of the Company outstanding or immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either remaining outstanding or by being converted into
Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting
power represented by the Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving
entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the
stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the
Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of (in one
transaction or a series of related transactions) all or substantially all of the
Company's assets.

                  (b)      "Claim" shall mean, with respect to a Covered Event,

constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger to which Recruitsoft, Inc.
(or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries) is a party which, if its separate
existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, so that if Indemnitee is
or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation
as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise,
Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee
would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate
existence had continued.

                  (d)      "Covered Event" shall mean any event or occurrence
related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, or is or
was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, or by reason of any action or inaction on the part of
Indemnitee while serving in such capacity.

                  (e)      "Expenses" shall mean any and all expenses (including
attorneys' fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations incurred in
connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in
(including on appeal), or preparing to defend, to be a witness in or to
participate in, any action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution
mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation), judgments, fines, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the
Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), actually and
reasonably incurred, of any Claim and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes
imposed on the Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any
payments under this Agreement.

                                                                             -2-

<PAGE>

                  (f)      "Expense Advance" shall mean a payment to Indemnitee,
pursuant to Section 3 hereof, of Expenses in advance of the settlement of or
final judgment in any action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution
mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation which constitutes a Claim.

                  (g)      "Independent Legal Counsel" shall mean an attorney or
firm of attorneys, selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)
hereof, who shall not have otherwise performed services for the Company or
Indemnitee within the last three years (other than with respect to matters
concerning the rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other
indemnitees under similar indemnity agreements).

                  (h)      References to "other enterprises" shall include
employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes
assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references
to "serving at the request of the Company" shall include any service as a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, agent or
fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its
beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Company" as referred to in this
Agreement.

                  (i)      "Reviewing Party" shall mean, subject to the
provisions of Section 2(d) hereof, any person or body appointed by the Board of
Directors in accordance with applicable law to review the Company's obligations
hereunder and under applicable law, which may include a member or members of the
Company's Board of Directors or Independent Legal Counsel.

                  (j)      "Section" refers to a section of this Agreement
unless otherwise indicated.

                  (k)      "Voting Securities" shall mean any securities of the
Company that vote generally in the election of directors.

         2.       Indemnification.

                  (a)      Indemnification of Expenses. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2(b) below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for
Expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee was or is or
becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be
made a party to or witness or other participant in, any Claim (whether by reason
of or arising in part out of a Covered Event), including all interest,
assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect
of such Expenses.

                  (b)      Review of Indemnification Obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Reviewing Party shall have
determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which Independent Legal Counsel
is the Reviewing Party) that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
hereunder under applicable law, (i) the Company shall have no further obligation
under Section 2(a) hereof to make any payments to Indemnitee not made prior to
such determination by such Reviewing Party, and (ii) the Company shall be
entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who

                                                                             -3-

<PAGE>

hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all Expenses theretofore paid in
indemnifying Indemnitee; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or
thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to
secure a determination that Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder
under applicable law in accordance with Section 2(c) hereof, then any
determination made by any Reviewing Party that, under applicable law, Indemnitee
is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder shall not be binding, and, until a
final judicial determination is made with respect to such legal proceedings (as
to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed), (x)
Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expenses
theretofore paid in indemnifying Indemnitee and (y) Indemnitee shall be entitled
to receive interim payments of Expenses pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof.
Indemnitee's obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expenses shall be
unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

                  (c)      Indemnitee Rights on Unfavorable Determination;
Binding Effect. If any Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively
is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder in whole or in part under applicable
law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation seeking an initial
determination by the court or challenging any such determination by such
Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases
therefor, and, subject to the provisions of Section 15 hereof, the Company
hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding.
Absent such litigation, any determination by any Reviewing Party shall be
conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.

                  (d)      Selection of Reviewing Party; Change in Control. If
there has not been a Change in Control, any Reviewing Party shall be selected by
the Board of Directors. If there has been such a Change in Control (other than a
Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board
of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control),
any Reviewing Party with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning
the rights of Indemnitee to indemnification of Expenses under this Agreement or
any other agreement, or under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws as now or hereafter in effect, or under any other applicable law, if
desired by Indemnitee, shall be Independent Legal Counsel selected by Indemnitee
and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the
Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be
entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law and the Company agrees
to abide by such opinion. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the
Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to indemnify fully such counsel
against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims, liabilities
and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement
pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Company shall not be required to pay Expenses of more than one Independent Legal
Counsel in connection with all matters concerning a single Indemnitee, and such
Independent Legal Counsel shall be the Independent Legal Counsel for any or all
other Indemnitees unless (i) the Company otherwise determines or (ii) any
Indemnitee shall provide a written statement setting forth in detail a
reasonable objection to such Independent Legal Counsel representing other
indemnitees.

                  (e)      Mandatory Payment of Expenses. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement other than Section 10 hereof, to the extent
that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including,
without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in

                                                                             -4-

<PAGE>

defense of any Claim, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.

         3.       Expense Advances.

                  (a)      Obligation to Make Expense Advances. Upon receipt of
a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amounts if
it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified therefor by the Company, the Company shall make Expense Advances to
Indemnitee.

                  (b)      Form of Undertaking. Any obligation to repay any
Expense Advances hereunder pursuant to a written undertaking by the Indemnitee
shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

                  (c)      Determination of Reasonable Expense Advances. The
parties agree that for the purposes of any Expense Advance for which Indemnitee
has made written demand to the Company in accordance with this Agreement, all
Expenses included in such Expense Advance that are certified by affidavit of
Indemnitee's counsel as being reasonable shall be presumed conclusively to be
reasonable.

         4.       Procedures for Indemnification and Expense Advances.

                  (a)      Timing of Payments. All payments of Expenses
(including, without limitation, Expense Advances) by the Company to the
Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement shall be made to the fullest extent
permitted by law as soon as practicable after written demand by Indemnitee
therefor is presented to the Company, but in no event later than forty-five (45)
business days after such written demand by Indemnitee is presented to the
Company, except in the case of Expense Advances, which shall be made no later
than twenty (20) days after such written demand by Indemnitee is presented to
the Company.

                  (b)      Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall,
as a condition precedent to Indemnitee's right to be indemnified or Indemnitee's
right to receive Expense Advances under this Agreement, give the Company notice
in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against Indemnitee for which
indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the
Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the
address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as
the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In addition, Indemnitee
shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably
require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.

                  (c)      No Presumptions; Burden of Proof. For purposes of
this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement
(whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee
did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or
that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by this
Agreement or applicable law. In addition, it is the parties' intention that if
Indemnitee commences legal proceedings to secure a judicial determination that
Indemnitee should be indemnified under this Agreement or applicable

                                                                             -5-

<PAGE>

law, the question of Indemnitee's right to indemnification shall be for the
court to decide, and neither the failure of any Reviewing Party to have made a
determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of
conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by any
Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not
have such belief, , shall be a defense to Indemnitee's claim or create a
presumption that Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or
did not have any particular belief. In connection with any determination by any
Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be
indemnified hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish
by clear and convincing evidence that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

                  (d)      Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt by
the Company of a notice of a Claim pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof, the Company
has liability insurance in effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall
give prompt notice of the commencement of such Claim to the insurers in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company
shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers
to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such
Claim in accordance with the terms of such policies.

                  (e)      Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall
be obligated hereunder to provide indemnification for or make any Expense
Advances with respect to the Expenses of any Claim, the company, if appropriate,
shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel approved by
Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) upon the delivery
to Indemnitee of written notice of the Company's election to do so. After
delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the
retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees or expenses of separate counsel
subsequently employed by or on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to the same
Claim; provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee's
separate counsel in any such Claim at Indemnitee's expense and (ii) if (A) the
employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by
the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a
conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any
such defense, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to
defend such Claim, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee's separate counsel
shall be Expenses for which Indemnitee may receive indemnification or Expense
Advances hereunder.

         5.       Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity.

                  (a)      Scope. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such
indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this
Agreement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or
by statute. In the event of any change after the date of this Agreement in any
applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a Delaware
corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that
Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such
change. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which
narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board
of directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the
extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be

                                                                             -6-

<PAGE>

applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the
parties' rights and obligations hereunder except as set forth in Section 10(a)
hereof.

                  (b)      Nonexclusivity. The indemnification and the payment
of Expense Advances provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to any
rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, its Bylaws, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,
or otherwise. The indemnification and the payment of Expense Advances provided
under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not
taken while serving in an indemnified capacity even though subsequent thereto
Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity.

         6.       No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable
under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made
against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received
payment (under any insurance policy, provision of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise payable hereunder.

         7.       Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for
all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify
Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled.

         8.       Mutual Acknowledgement. Both the Company and Indemnitee
acknowledge that in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy
may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors, officers, employees,
agents or fiduciaries under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands
and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the
future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the
question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a
determination of the Company's right under public policy to indemnify
Indemnitee.

         9.       Liability Insurance. To the extent the Company maintains
liability insurance applicable to directors, officers, employees, agents or
fiduciaries, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies in such a manner as to
provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are provided to the most
favorably insured of the Company's directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of
the Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an
officer; or of the Company's key employees, agents or fiduciaries, if Indemnitee
is not an officer or director but is a key employee, agent or fiduciary.

         10.      Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement:

                  (a)      Excluded Action or Omissions. To indemnify Indemnitee
for Expenses resulting from acts, omissions or transactions for which Indemnitee
is prohibited from receiving indemnification under this Agreement or applicable
law; provided, however, that notwithstanding any limitation set forth in this
Section 10(a) regarding the Company's obligation to provide

                                                                             -7-

<PAGE>

indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 hereof to receive
Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any such Claim unless and until a
court having jurisdiction over the Claim shall have made a final judicial
determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or
lapsed) that Indemnitee has engaged in acts, omissions or transactions for which
Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification under this Agreement or
applicable law.

                  (b)      Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or make
Expense Advances to Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought
voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, counterclaim or crossclaim,
except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings brought to establish or
enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other agreement
or insurance policy or under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Covered Events, (ii) in
specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing
of such Claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is
determined to be entitled to such indemnification or insurance recovery, as the
case may be.

                  (c)      Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any
Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any action instituted (i) by
Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court having
jurisdiction over such action determines as provided in Section 13 hereof that
each of the material assertions made by the Indemnitee as a basis for such
action was not made in good faith or was frivolous, or (ii) by or in the name of
the Company to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court having
jurisdiction over such action determines as provided in Section 13 hereof that
each of the material defenses asserted by Indemnitee in such action was made in
bad faith or was frivolous.

                  (d)      Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee
for expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by
Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as
amended, or any similar successor statute; provided, however, that
notwithstanding any limitation set forth in this Section 10(d) regarding the
Company's obligation to provide indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled
under Section 3 hereof to receive Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any
such Claim unless and until a court having jurisdiction over the Claim shall
have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal
therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee has violated said
statute.

         11.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

         12.      Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties
hereto and their respective successors, assigns (including any direct or
indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), spouses, heirs and
personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any
successor (whether direct or indirect, and whether by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of
the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would
be required to perform if no such

                                                                             -8-

<PAGE>

succession had taken place. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless
of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent
or fiduciary (as applicable) of the Company or of any other enterprise at the
Company's request.

         13.      Expenses Incurred in Action Relating to Enforcement or
Interpretation. In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under
this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies maintained by the
Company to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof or thereof, Indemnitee
shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with
respect to such action (including without limitation attorneys' fees),
regardless of whether Indemnitee is ultimately successful in such action, unless
as a part of such action a court having jurisdiction over such action makes a
final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have
been exhausted or lapsed) that each of the material assertions made by
Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in good faith or was
frivolous; provided, however, that until such final judicial determination is
made, Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 hereof to receive payment of
Expense Advances hereunder with respect to such action. In the event of an

entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in defense of
such action (including without limitation costs and expenses incurred with
respect to Indemnitee's counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action),
unless as a part of such action a court having jurisdiction over such action
makes a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom
have been exhausted or lapsed) that each of the material defenses asserted by
Indemnitee in such action was made in bad faith or was frivolous; provided,
however, that until such final judicial determination is made, Indemnitee shall
be entitled under Section 3 hereof to receive payment of Expense Advances
hereunder with respect to such action.

         14.      Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other

Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which
arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted
under this Agreement shall be commenced, prosecuted and continued only in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, which
shall be the exclusive and only proper forum for adjudicating such a claim.

         16.      Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any
provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the
remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of the
Agreement (including without limitation each portion of this Agreement
containing any provision held to be invalid, void or otherwise

                                                                             -9-

unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void or unenforceable) shall be
construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held

termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in
writing signed by both the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a
continuing waiver.

         20.      Integration and Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth
the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges
all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and
agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto.

         21.      No Construction as Employment Agreement. Nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be construed as giving Indemnitee any right to be retained
in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities.

                                                                            -10-

1.       TITLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

1.1      The Employee will serve in the position of Chief Executive Officer of
         Recrusoft. The Employee will assume and discharge such responsibilities
         as are commensurate with such position and as the Board of Directors of
         Recrusoft may direct. During the term of his employment, the Employee
         shall devote his full time, skill and attention to his duties and
         responsibilities, shall perform them faithfully, diligently and
         competently and shall use his best efforts to further the business of
         Recrusoft. In addition, the Employee shall comply with and be bound by

         unspecified duration that constitutes at-will employment, and that
         either the Employee or Recrusoft can terminate this relationship at any
         time, with or without cause. However, in the event of any involuntary
         termination of the employment of the Employee employment other than for

3.1      In consideration of the Employee's services, effective July 1st, 1999,

         dollars, in Canadian Funds, (CDN$100,000) per year, payable
         twice-monthly in accordance with Recrusoft's standard payroll
         practices. As with other managers of Recrusoft, the Employee's base

4.       OTHER BENEFITS

4.1      The Employee will be entitled to receive the standard employee benefits
         made available by Recrusoft to its employees and managers to the full
         extent of his eligibility therefore. The Employee shall be entitled to
         three (3) weeks of paid vacation per year (which shall be consistent
         with Recrusoft's vacation policy, if any, and with a maximum of six (6)
         weeks to carry over to the next year). During his employment, the
         Employee shall be permitted, to the extent eligible, to participate in
         any group medical, dental, life insurance and disability insurance
         plans, or similar benefit plan of Recrusoft that is available to other
         comparable employees. Participation in any such plan shall be
         consistent with the Employee's rate of compensation to the extent that
         compensation is a determinative factor with respect to coverage under
         any such plan.

4.2      Recrusoft shall reimburse the Employee for all reasonable business
         expenses actually incurred or paid by the Employee in the performance
         of his services on behalf of Recrusoft, in accordance with Recrusoft's
         expense reimbursement policy, if any, as from time to time in effect.

5.       NON-COMPETITION, CONFIDENTIALITY AND INVENTION ASSIGNMENT

         employment, nor will he engage in any other activities that conflict
         with his obligations to Recrusoft.

7.       TERMINATION AND SEVERANCE

7.1      In the event that the Employee employment with Recrusoft is
         involuntarily terminated other than "for cause" (as defined herein),
         the Employee shall be entitled to a severance payment equal to six (6)
         months of the Employee's then current base salary as set forth in
         section 3 herein, such amount to be payable in equal monthly
         instalments, plus continued participation in Recrusoft's group medical,
         dental and life insurance coverage, if any, for six (6) months.

7.2      For purposes of the foregoing, termination "for cause" shall mean (i)
         the wilful failure by the Employee substantially to perform his
         material duties after a written demand for substantial performance is
         delivered to the Employee by the Board of Directors of Recrusoft which
         specifically identifies the manner in which Recrusoft believes that the
         Employee has not substantially performed his duties and the Employee
         fails to rectify the deficiency within a sixty (60) day period, (ii)
         the failure (in any material respect) by the Employee to follow
         reasonable policies or directives established by the Board of Directors
         of Recrusoft after written notice to the Employee by the Board of
         Directors of Recrusoft that the Employee is not following such policies
         or directives and the Employee fails to rectify the deficiency within a
         sixty (60) day period, (iii) conduct that is materially detrimental to
         Recrusoft and the Employee fails to rectify such deficiency within a
         sixty (60) days of having received written notice from Recrusoft
         regarding the same, (iv) the conviction of the Employee of any crime
         involving the property or business of Recrusoft or (v) the
         non-compliance by the Employee with his non-competition obligations
         under the Agreement referred to in section 5 above.

7.3      If the Employee employment is terminated for cause or if the Employee
         resigns his employment voluntarily, no compensation or other payments
         will be paid or provided to the Employee for any period following the
         date when such a termination of employment is effective and any rights
         the Employee may have under any benefit plans of Recrusoft shall be
         determined under the provisions of those plans. If the employment of
         the Employee terminates as a result of his death or disability, no
         compensation or payments will be made to the Employee other than those
         to which the Employee is otherwise entitled under applicable benefit
         plans, if any, of Recrusoft.

8.       GENERAL PROVISIONS
