      herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as
      follows:

    

    Section
      1. Term
      of Employment.
      The
      Employee's employment under this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective
      Date and, subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement
      below, shall continue until June 30, 2009 (the “Employment Term”); provided

      and Duties.

      the Employment Term, the Employee shall serve as General Counsel and Secretary
      of the Company and shall report to the Chief Executive Officer. Employee shall

      may
      be conferred upon him from time to time by Chief Executive Officer or the Board
      of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). During the Employment Term, the
      Employee shall use his best efforts to faithfully perform the duties of General
      Counsel and Secretary and shall devote all of his business time, attention,
      skill and efforts exclusively to the business and affairs of the Company, its

    Section
      3. Compensation.
      

    

    (a) Salary.
      For the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder during the Employment Term,
      Employee shall receive an annualized base salary of $225,000.00 (the “Base
      Salary”) less normal deductions and withholdings. The salary payments shall be
      made in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices. Employee’s
      Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually by the Chief Executive Officer
      and the Board of Directors for consideration of appropriate merit based
      increases.

     

    (b) Incentive
      Compensation. The Employee shall be entitled to participate in all compensation
      and employee benefit plans or programs (“plans and programs”), subject to the
      terms and conditions of the plans and programs, that are offered to all salaried
      employees of the Company, including, without limitation, incentive compensation,
      bonus, group hospitalization, health, dental care, or other insurance, stock
      purchase, restricted stock and stock option plans. Employee shall be eligible
      for a cash bonus at the end of each fiscal year pursuant to the executive
      compensation program established by the Compensation Committee for such year.
      For fiscal 2008, this bonus will be pro rated for the portion of the fiscal
      year
      Employee served with the Company. The fiscal 2008 bonus will be based on the
      following factors:

    

    
      	 	
              ·

            	
              50%
                will be based on the Company achieving no less than $3.5 million
                in EBITDA
                for the fiscal year; and

            

    

    
      	 	
              ·

            	
              50%
                will be based upon the Employee’s personal performance, as determined by
                the CEO and Compensation Committee according to criteria to be established
                in consultation with Employee.

            

    

    

    The
      Company’s expectation is that, if the above referenced EBITDA target is
      achieved, and if Employee’s personal performance merits it, Employee will
      receive a cash bonus of no less than thirty percent (30%) of Employee’s base
      salary paid during the year.

    

    (c) Premiums/Contributions. During
      the Employment Term, the Employee shall be entitled to participate in all
      medical and dental health plans and programs at no cost to the
      Employee.

    

    (d) Vacation
      and Sick Leave. During the Employment Term, the Employee shall be entitled
      to
      vacation and sick leave in accordance with Company policies and
      procedures.

    

    (e) Car
      Allowance. During the Employment Term, the Employee shall be entitled to an
      annual car allowance in the amount of $6,000.00, which will be payable on a
      pro-rata basis in association with the regular payroll schedule and subject
      to
      normal payroll deductions and withholdings.

    

    (f) Stock
      Options. Employee shall be entitled to receive stock options or other equity
      awards at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

    Section
      4. Business
      Expenses.
      The
      Company shall pay or reimburse the Employee for all reasonable travel or other
      out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the Employee in connection with
      the
      performance of his duties and obligations under this Agreement. The Employee
      shall submit proof of such expenses in accordance with such policies and
      procedures as the Company may from time to time establish for
      employees.

     

    Section
      5. Effect
      of Termination of Employment.
      The
      terms and conditions of this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the
      end
      of the Employment Term, or earlier, based on the following
      circumstances:

    

    (a) Without
      “Cause”. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the
      Company may terminate the Employee’s employment hereunder for any reason or for
      no reason, at any time during the Employment Term, effective upon delivery
      of
      two (2) days notice by the Company. In the event the Employee's employment
      terminates during the Employment Term, due to a Without Cause Termination (as
      hereinafter defined), the Employee, in exchange for a complete release and
      waiver, releasing the Company of any and all legal claims or potential legal
      claims, shall receive an amount equal to his Base Salary then in effect for
      twelve (12) months (the “Severance Period”) plus (i) any Base Salary already
      earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the effective date of
      termination; (ii) reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses pursuant
      to
      Section 4 incurred prior to the effective date of termination; and (iii) all
      vested benefits under the Company’s plans and programs, subject to the terms of
      such plans and programs (together, the “Severance Payments”). The Severance
      Payments will be made, at the Company’s option, in a lump sum or ratably over
      the Severance Period, with such determination made by the Company within seven
      (7) days after receipt of the executed release and waiver. The Employee agrees
      and acknowledges that he shall be entitled to any and all payments (or future
      payments) under this Section 5(a) so long as he is not in violation of Section
      7
      of this Agreement, set forth below. To the extent that the Employee is in
      violation of his agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 6 and 7 he
      shall
      not be entitled to any payment or future payment under this Section 5(a).

    

    (b) Termination
      upon Death, Disability, or Cause. This Agreement shall terminate upon the
      Employee’s death, disability or Cause (as hereinafter defined). If one of these
      events shall occur, the Employee shall have no right to receive any compensation
      or benefit other than (i) any Base Salary already earned and accrued under
      this
      Agreement prior to the effective date of termination; (ii) reimbursement under
      this Agreement for expenses pursuant to Section 4 incurred prior to the
      effective date of termination; and (iii) all vested benefits under the Company’s
      plans and programs, subject to the terms of such plans and
      programs.

    

    (c) Voluntary
      Resignation. The Employee may terminate his employment hereunder at any time
      during the Employment Term subject only to the requirement that the Employee
      shall provide the Company with a minimum of thirty (30) days prior written
      notice. In the event of a voluntary termination (resignation) by Employee,
      the
      Company will have no obligation to Employee other than to pay Employee any
      earned and accrued Based Salary and the value of any earned, accrued, unused
      vacation. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a
      voluntary resignation (i) he will not be entitled to any other type of
      compensation or benefits under this Agreement and (ii) that the compensation
      and
      benefits that he received under this Agreement prior to his voluntary
      termination were good and sufficient consideration for him to have to completely
      and fully abide with his covenants and agreements set forth in Section 7 below
      concerning non-competition and non-soliciation.

    (d) With
      “Good Reason”. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
      the Employee may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason (as defined
      hereinafter), subject to the requirement that the Employee shall provide the
      Company with a minimum of two (2) weeks prior written notice. In the event
      that
      the Company does not cure said Good Reason, the Employee shall be entitled
      to
      receive the Severance Payments in exchange for a complete release and waiver,
      releasing the Company of any and all legal claims or potential legal claims.
      The
      Employee agrees and acknowledges that he shall be entitled to any and all
      payments (or future payments) under this Section 5(d) so long as he is not
      in
      violation of Section 7 of this Agreement, set forth below. To the extent that
      the Employee is in violation of his agreements and covenants set forth in
      Sections 6 and 7 he shall not be entitled to any payment or future payment
      under
      this Section 5(d). 

    

    (e) If
      a
      Change in Control (defined below) is consummated during the Term of this
      Agreement and (A) Employee is terminated immediately prior to or in connection
      with such Change of Control; or (B) within six months immediately following
      such
      Change in Control, Employee either (i) is terminated Without Cause or (ii)
      resigns for Good Reason, then the Company (or the surviving entity, as the
      case
      may be) shall pay Employee the Severance Payments.

      The
      term “Termination for Cause” means, to the maximum extent permitted by

      performance of his duties hereunder or engaged in conduct detrimental to the
      business of the Company, (c) been convicted of a felony or any crime involving

      or
      the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 below.

      term

      with
      Employees position as General Counsel (except in connection with the termination
      of Employee’s employment for Death, Disability or Cause); (ii) a failure by the
      Company to pay to the Employee any amounts due under this Agreement or provide

      or
      indirectly and in substantially the same proportion, by the persons who
      beneficially owned the Company's outstanding voting securities immediately
      prior
      to such transaction; or (b) any transfer, sale or other disposition of all

      directly to the Company's beneficial holders; provided, however, in no event
      shall a Change in Control be deemed to occur in connection with any public

      infrastructure equipment construction and installation, radio transmission
      base
      station modification and project management services. The Employee further
      recognizes and acknowledges that all information pertaining to the affairs,
      business, clients, or customers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
      affiliates (any or all of such affairs, business, clients, and customers
      hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Business"), as such information
      may
      exist from time to time, other than information that the Company has previously
      made publicly available, is confidential information and is a unique and
      valuable asset of the Business, access to and knowledge of which are essential
      to the performance of the Employee's duties under this Agreement. In
      consideration of the payments and obligations made to him hereunder, the
      Employee shall not at any time, except to the extent reasonably necessary in
      the
      performance of his duties under this Agreement, divulge to any person, firm,
      association, corporation, or governmental agency, any information concerning
      the
      affairs, businesses, clients, or customers of the Business (except such
      information as is required by law to be divulged to a government agency or
      pursuant to lawful process), or make use of any such information for his own
      purposes or for the benefit of any person, firm, association or corporation
      (except the Business) and shall use his reasonable best efforts to prevent
      the
      disclosure of any such information by others. All records, memoranda, letters,
      books, papers, reports, accountings, or other data, and other records and
      documents relating to the Business, whether made by the Employee or otherwise
      coming into his possession, are confidential information and are, shall be,
      and
      shall remain the property of the Business. No copies thereof shall be made
      which
      are not retained by the Business, and the Employee agrees, on termination of
      his
      employment or on demand of the Company, to deliver the same to the
      Company.

    (g) In
      the
      event of a termination pursuant to this Section 5, the Employee will be entitled
      to participate in continued group hospitalization, health and dental care
      insurance in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Comprehensive
      Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA"), at Employee’s expense.

    

    Section
      7. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

    

    (a) (i)
      The
      Employee acknowledges that as a result of his employment by the Company, the
      Employee (1) will acquire knowledge of the trade and proprietary and
      confidential information as to the business of the Company and its Affiliates
      and (2) will create relationships with customers, suppliers and other persons
      dealing with the Company and its Affiliates. The Employee further acknowledges
      and agrees that the Company and its Affiliates will suffer substantial damage,
      which would be difficult to ascertain and is not compensable by monetary
      damages, if the Employee should use such trade secrets or other proprietary
      and
      confidential information or take advantage of such relationship and that because
      of the nature of the information that will be known to the Employee and the
      relationships created, it is necessary for the Company and its Affiliates to
      be
      protected by the prohibition against Competition as set forth
      herein.

    

    (ii)
      The
      Employee acknowledges that the retention of non-clerical employees employed
      by
      the Company and its Affiliates in which the Company and its Affiliates have
      invested training and depend on for the operation of their businesses is
      important to the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates, that the Employee
      will obtain unique information as to such employees and will develop unique
      relationships with such persons as a result of being an employee of the Company
      and, therefore, it is necessary for the Company and its Affiliates to be
      protected from the Employee’s Solicitation (as defined below) of such employees
      as set forth below.

    

    (iii)
      The
      Employee acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable
      and
      necessary for the protection of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates
      and that part of the compensation paid under this Agreement and the agreement
      to
      pay compensation upon termination in certain instances is in consideration
      for
      the agreements and covenants in this Section 7.

      the
      Company or its Affiliates or hiring or assisting another person or entity to
      hire any non-clerical employee of the Company or its Affiliates or any person
      who within twelve (12) months before had been a non-clerical employee of the
      Company or its Affiliates and were recruited or solicited for such employment
      or
      other retention while an employee of the Company, provided, however, that
      Solicitation shall not include any of the foregoing activities engaged in with

      Company.

    

    (c) If
      any
      restriction set forth with regard to Non-Competition or Non-Solicitation is
      found by any court of competent jurisdiction, or in arbitration, to be
      unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too
      great
      a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted
      to amend over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic
      area
      as to which it may be enforceable. If any provision of this Section shall be
      declared to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, as a result of
      the
      foregoing, as a result of public policy or for any other reason, such invalidity
      shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Section 7, which shall remain
      in full force and effect.

    (d) During
      the Employment Term and for two (2) years following the termination of
      Employee’s employment for any reason whatsoever, whether by the Company or by
      the Employee and whether or not with Cause, Good Reason or non-extension of
      the
      Employment Term, the Employee will not engage in Solicitation.

    

    (e) During
      the Employment Term and for the Restricted Period (as hereafter defined)
      following a termination of Employee’s employment, Employee will not enter into
      Competition with the Company. The “Restricted Period” shall mean (i) for a
      termination with Cause, two (2) years following the date of termination, (ii)
      for termination without Cause by the Company, or for Good Reason by the
      Employee, the Severance Period, (iii) for termination as a result of the
      voluntary resignation by the Employee without Good Reason, one (1) year from
      the
      date of termination, and (iv) for termination of employment under any
      circumstances after the expiration of the Employment Term, one (1) year from
      the
      date of termination. The Employee expressly agrees and acknowledges that his
      promises, obligations, and covenants under Section 6 above, and this Section
      7,
      survive the Employment Term identified in Section 1. 

    

    (f) In
      the
      event of a breach or potential breach of Section 7, Employee acknowledges that
      the Company and its Affiliates will be caused irreparable injury and that money
      damages may not be an adequate remedy and agree that the Company and its
      Affiliates shall be entitled to injunctive relief (in addition to its other
      remedies at law) to have the provisions of Sections 7 enforced. It is hereby
      acknowledged that the provisions of Section 7 are for the benefit of the Company
      and all of the Affiliates of the Company and each such entity may enforce the
      provisions of Sections 7 and only the applicable entity can waive the rights
      hereunder with respect to its confidential information and
      employees.

    

    (g) Furthermore,
      in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies provided herein
      or at
      law or in equity, in the event of a breach of Section 7 by the Employee, while
      he is receiving compensation or benefits under Section 5 above, the Employee
      shall not be entitled to receive any future amounts pursuant to Section 5 (a)
      or
      (d) hereof and shall reimburse the Company for any amounts previously paid
      to
      the Employee pursuant to Section 5(a) or (d) hereof.

    

    (h) The
      Company's obligation to make payments, or provide for any benefits under this
      Agreement (except to the extent vested or exercisable) shall cease upon a
      violation of the preceding provisions of this section. 

    

    Section
      8. Acknowledgment. The
      Employee acknowledges that he has carefully read and considered all of the
      restraints imposed pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 and that each and every one
      of
      said restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time
      and
      area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be a
      measurable or adequate remedy for a breach of Sections 6 and 7 (non-solicitation
      and non-competition), and accordingly consents to the entry by any court of
      competent jurisdiction of order enjoining him from violating any of such
      covenants. If any of the covenants contained in Sections 6 and/or 7 are held
      to
      be invalid or unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the
      area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination
      shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision and
      in
      its reduced form said provision shall then be enforceable.

    Section
      9. Withholdings.
      The
      Company may directly or indirectly withhold from any payments made under this
      Agreement all Federal, state, city or other taxes and all other deductions
      authorized by the Employee or by law. 

    

    Section
      10. Consolidation,
      Merger or Sale of Assets.
      Nothing
      in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from consolidating or merging
      into
      or with, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, or engaging
      in any other business combination with, any other person or entity which assumes
      this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder.
      Upon such a consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or other business
      combination and assumption, the term “Company” used herein shall mean such other
      person or entity and this Agreement shall continue in full force and
      effect.

      independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any
      claim
      or cause of action by Employee against Company, whether predicated on this
      Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by
      Company of any or all covenants. It is expressly agreed that the remedy at
      law
      for the breach or any such covenant is inadequate and that injunctive relief
      shall be available to prevent the breach or any threatened breach thereof.

      Section
        5. Effect
        of Termination of Employment.
        The
        terms and conditions of this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the
        end
        of the Employment Term, or earlier, based on the following
        circumstances:

      

      (a) Without
        “Cause”. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the
        Company may terminate the Employee’s employment hereunder for any reason or for
        no reason, at any time during the Employment Term, effective upon delivery
        of
        two (2) days notice by the Company. In the event the Employee's employment
        terminates during the Employment Term, due to a Without Cause Termination
        (as
        hereinafter defined), the Employee, in exchange for a complete release and
        waiver, releasing the Company of any and all legal claims or potential legal
        claims, shall receive an amount equal to the Base Salary then in effect for
        twelve (12) months (the “Severance Period”) plus (i) any Base Salary already
        earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the effective date of
        termination; (ii) reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses pursuant
        to
        Section 4 incurred prior to the effective date of termination; and (iii)
        all
        vested benefits under the Company’s plans and programs, subject to the terms of
        such plans and programs (together, the “Severance Payments”). The Severance
        Payments will be made, at the Company’s option, in a lump sum or ratably over
        the Severance Period, with such determination made by the Company within
        seven
        (7) days after receipt of the executed release and waiver. The Employee agrees
        and acknowledges that he shall be entitled to any and all payments (or future
        payments) under this Section 5(a) so long as he is not in violation of Section
        7
        of this Agreement, set forth below. To the extent that the Employee is in
        violation of his agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 6 and 7 he
        shall
        not be entitled to any payment or future payment under this Section 5(a).
        

      

      (b) Termination
        upon Death, Disability, or Cause. This Agreement shall terminate upon the
        Employee’s death, Disability (as hereonafter defined) or Cause (as hereinafter
        defined). If one of these events shall occur, the Employee shall have no
        right
        to receive any compensation or benefit other than (i) any Base Salary already
        earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the effective date of
        termination; (ii) reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses pursuant
        to
        Section 4 incurred prior to the effective date of termination; and (iii)
        all
        vested benefits under the Company’s plans and programs, subject to the terms of
        such plans and programs.

      

      (c) Voluntary
        Resignation. The Employee may terminate his employment hereunder at any time
        during the Employment Term subject only to the requirement that the Employee
        shall provide the Company with a minimum of thirty (30) days prior written
        notice. In the event of a voluntary termination (resignation) by Employee,
        the
        Company will have no obligation to Employee other than (i) to pay Employee
        any
        earned and accrued Based Salary and the value of any earned, accrued, unused
        vacation (ii) reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses pursuant to
        Section 4 incurred prior to the effective date of termination; and (iii)
        all
        other vested benefits under the Company’s plans and programs, subject to the
        terms of such plans and programs. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees
        that
        in the event of a voluntary resignation (i) he will not be entitled to any
        other
        type of compensation or benefits under this Agreement and (ii) that the
        compensation and benefits that he received under this Agreement prior to
        his
        voluntary termination were good and sufficient consideration for him to have
        to
        completely and fully abide with his covenants and agreements set forth in
        Section 7 below concerning non-competition and non-soliciation.

      (d) With
        “Good Reason”. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
        the Employee may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason (as defined
        hereinafter), subject to the requirement that the Employee shall provide
        the
        Company with a minimum of two (2) weeks prior written notice. In the event
        that
        the Company does not cure said Good Reason, the Employee shall be entitled
        to
        receive the Severance Payments in exchange for a complete release and waiver,
        releasing the Company of any and all legal claims or potential legal claims.
        The
        Employee agrees and acknowledges that he shall be entitled to any and all
        payments (or future payments) under this Section 5(d) so long as he is not
        in
        violation of Section 7 of this Agreement, set forth below. To the extent
        that
        the Employee is in violation of his agreements and covenants set forth in
        Sections 6 and 7 he shall not be entitled to any payment or future payment
        under
        this Section 5(d). 

      

      (e) If
        a
        Change in Control (defined below) is consummated during the Term of this
        Agreement and (A) Employee is terminated within six (6) months prior to or
        in
        connection with such Change of Control; or (B) within six months immediately
        following such Change in Control, Employee either (i) is terminated Without
        Cause or (ii) resigns for Good Reason, then the Company (or the surviving
        entity, as the case may be) shall pay Employee the Severance Payments. In
        addition, a Change of Control as defined herein shall be deemed to constitute
        a
“Change in Control” as such term is used in the Company’s Omnibus Securities
        Plan, and Employee shall have the right, without further action by the Board
        of
        Directors or the Stock Plan Committee, to have the vesting or exercisability
        of
        any outstanding stock option awards (or similar equity grants awarded under
        said
        Plan) accelerated so that immediately prior to the consummation of the Change
        in
        Control, Employee could convert, claim or excersie, as applicable, any such
        equity awards to the full extent not yet converted, claimed or excersied,
        (including any installments which have not yet become vested or
        excercisable).

      

      (f) For
        purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following
        meanings:

      

      (i)
        The
        term “Termination for Cause” means, to the maximum extent permitted by
        applicable law, a termination of the Employee's employ-ment by the Company
        because the Employee has (a) materially breached or materially failed to
        perform
        his duties and such breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing,
        willful misconduct or recklessness, (b) committed an act of dishonesty in
        the
        performance of his duties hereunder or engaged in conduct materially detrimental
        to the business of the Company, (c) been convicted of a felony or any crime
        involving moral turpitude, (d) materially breached or materially failed to
        perform his obligations and duties hereunder, which breach or failure the
        Employee shall fail to remedy within 30 days after written demand from the
        Company, or (e) violated in any material respect the representations made
        in
        Section above or the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 below.

      (ii) The
        term
“Without Cause Termination” means a termination of the Employee’s employment by
        the Company other than due to expiration of the Employment Term and other

        demotion or any assignment of duties inconsistent with Employees position
        as
        Chief Operating Officer (except in connection with the termination of Employee’s
        employment for Death, Disability or Cause); (ii) a failure by the Company
        to pay
        to the Employee any amounts due under this Agreement or provide any benefits
        in

        (15)
        days following receipt by the Company of notice from the Employee of such
        failure; or (iii) a relocation of the Company’s corporate headquarters more than
        sixty-five (65) miles from Employee’s current residence as of the date hereof

        In Control" shall mean the consummation of any of the following transactions
        effecting a change in ownership or control of the Company: (a) any merger,

        fifty
        percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the voting securities
        of the
        successor corporation are immediately thereafter beneficially owned, directly
        or
        indirectly and in substantially the same proportion, by the persons who
        beneficially owned the Company's outstanding voting securities immediately
        prior
        to such transaction; or (b) any transfer, sale or other disposition of all
        or
        substantially all of the Company's assets; or (c) the acquisition, directly
        or
        indirectly, by any person or related group of persons (other than the Company
        or
        a person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under

        qualified medical doctor selected by the parties so certifies in writing.
        If the
        parties are unable to agree on the selection of such a doctor, each party
        will
        designate a qualified medical doctor who together will select a third doctor
        who
        will make the determination. Employee will make himself available for an
        examination by a doctor selected in accordance with this paragraph.

      Section
        6. Other
        Duties of Employee During and After Employment Term. The
        Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the principle business of the Company
        is providing wireless carriers with comprehensive real estate site acquisition
        and zoning services, radio frequency and network design engineering,
        infrastructure equipment construction and installation, radio transmission
        base
        station modification and project management services. The Employee further
        recognizes and acknowledges that all information pertaining to the affairs,
        business, clients, or customers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
        or
        affiliates (any or all of such affairs, business, clients, and customers
        hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Business"), as such information
        may
        exist from time to time, other than information that the Company has previously
        made publicly available, is confidential information and is a unique and
        valuable asset of the Business, access to and knowledge of which are essential
        to the performance of the Employee's duties under this Agreement. In
        consideration of the payments and obligations made to him hereunder, the
        Employee shall not at any time, except to the extent reasonably necessary
        in the
        performance of his duties under this Agreement, divulge to any person, firm,
        association, corporation, or governmental agency, any information concerning
        the
        affairs, businesses, clients, or customers of the Business (except such
        information as is required by law to be divulged to a government agency or
        pursuant to lawful process), or make use of any such information for his
        own
        purposes or for the benefit of any person, firm, association or corporation
        (except the Business) and shall use his reasonable best efforts to prevent
        the
        disclosure of any such information by others. All records, memoranda, letters,
        books, papers, reports, accountings, or other data, and other records and
        documents relating to the Business, whether made by the Employee or otherwise
        coming into his possession, are confidential information and are, shall be,
        and
        shall remain the property of the Business. No copies thereof shall be made
        which
        are not retained by the Business, and the Employee agrees, on termination
        of his
        employment or on demand of the Company, to deliver the same to the
        Company.

       

      Section
        7. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

      

      (a) (i)
        The
        Employee acknowledges that as a result of his employment by the Company,
        the
        Employee (1) will acquire knowledge of the trade and proprietary and
        confidential information as to the business of the Company and its Affiliates
        and (2) will create relationships with customers, suppliers and other persons
        dealing with the Company and its Affiliates. The Employee further acknowledges
        and agrees that the Company and its Affiliates will suffer substantial damage,
        which would be difficult to ascertain and is not compensable by monetary
        damages, if the Employee should use such trade secrets or other proprietary
        and
        confidential information or take advantage of such relationship and that
        because
        of the nature of the information that will be known to the Employee and the
        relationships created, it is necessary for the Company and its Affiliates
        to be
        protected by the prohibition against Competition as set forth
        herein.

      

      (ii)
        The
        Employee acknowledges that the retention of non-clerical employees employed
        by
        the Company and its Affiliates in which the Company and its Affiliates have
        invested training and depend on for the operation of their businesses is
        important to the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates, that the Employee
        will obtain unique information as to such employees and will develop unique
        relationships with such persons as a result of being an employee of the Company
        and, therefore, it is necessary for the Company and its Affiliates to be
        protected from the Employee’s Solicitation (as defined below) of such employees
        as set forth below.

      (iii)
        The
        Employee acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable
        and
        necessary for the protection of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates
        and that part of the compensation paid under this Agreement and the agreement
        to
        pay compensation upon termination in certain instances is in consideration
        for
        the agreements and covenants in this Section 7.

      (iv) For
        purposes of this Agreement, “Solicitation” shall mean: recruiting, soliciting or
        inducing, of any non-clerical employee of the Company or its Affiliate to

      (c) If
        any
        restriction set forth with regard to Non-Competition or Non-Solicitation
        is
        found by any court of competent jurisdiction, or in arbitration, to be
        unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too
        great
        a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted
        to amend over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic
        area
        as to which it may be enforceable. If any provision of this Section shall
        be

        of the
        foregoing, as a result of public policy or for any other reason, such invalidity
        shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Section 7, which shall
        remain
        in full force and effect.

      

      (d) During
        the Employment Term and for two (2) years following the termination of
        Employee’s employment for any reason whatsoever, whether by the Company or by
        the Employee and whether or not with Cause, Good Reason or non-extension
        of the
        Employment Term, the Employee will not engage in Solicitation.

      

      (e) During
        the Employment Term and for the Restricted Period (as hereafter defined)
        following a termination of Employee’s employment, Employee will not enter into
        Competition with the Company. The “Restricted Period” shall mean (i) for a
        termination with Cause, two (2) years following the date of termination,
        (ii)
        for termination without Cause by the Company, or for Good Reason by the
        Employee, the Severance Period, (iii) for termination as a result of the
        voluntary resignation by the Employee without Good Reason, one (1) year from
        the
        date of termination, and (iv) for termination of employment under any
        circumstances after the expiration of the Employment Term, one (1) year from
        the
        date of termination. The Employee expressly agrees and acknowledges that
        his
        promises, obligations, and covenants under Section 6 above, and this Section
        7,
        survive the Employment Term identified in Section 1. 

      

      (f) In
        the
        event of a breach or potential breach of Section 7, Employee acknowledges
        that
        the Company and its Affiliates will be caused irreparable injury and that
        money
        damages may not be an adequate remedy and agree that the Company and its
        Affiliates shall be entitled to injunctive relief (in addition to its other
        remedies at law) to have the provisions of Sections 7 enforced. It is hereby
        acknowledged that the provisions of Section 7 are for the benefit of the
        Company
        and all of the Affiliates of the Company and each such entity may enforce
        the
        provisions of Sections 7 and only the applicable entity can waive the rights
        hereunder with respect to its confidential information and
        employees.

      

      (g) Furthermore,
        in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies provided herein
        or at
        law or in equity, in the event of a breach of Section 7 by the Employee,
        while
        he is receiving compensation or benefits under Section 5 above, the Employee
        shall not be entitled to receive any future amounts pursuant to Section 5
        (a) or
        (d) hereof and shall reimburse the Company for any amounts previously paid
        to
        the Employee pursuant to Section 5(a) or (d) hereof.

      (h) The
        Company's obligation to make payments, or provide for any benefits under
        this
        Agreement (except to the extent vested or exercisable) shall cease upon a
        violation of the preceding provisions of this section. 

      

      Section
        8. Acknowledgment. The
        Employee acknowledges that he has carefully read and considered all of the
        restraints imposed pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 and that each and every one
        of
        said restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time
        and
        area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be
        a
        measurable or adequate remedy for a breach of Sections 6 and 7 (non-solicitation
        and non-competition), and accordingly consents to the entry by any court
        of
        competent jurisdiction of order enjoining him from violating any of such
        covenants. If any of the covenants contained in Sections 6 and/or 7 are held
        to
        be invalid or unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or
        the
        area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination
        shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision
        and in
        its reduced form said provision shall then be enforceable. 

      

      Section
        9. Withholdings.
        The
        Company may directly or indirectly withhold from any payments made under
        this
        Agreement all Federal, state, city or other taxes and all other deductions
        authorized by the Employee or by law. 

      

      Section
        10. Consolidation,
        Merger or Sale of Assets.
        Nothing
        in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from consolidating or merging
        into
        or with, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, or engaging
        in any other business combination with, any other person or entity which
        assumes
        this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder.
        Company will require any such successor (whether by purchase, merger,
        consolidation or similar transaction) to all or substantially all of the
        business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance
        reasonably satisfactory to Employee, to expressly assume and agree to perform
        this Agreement in substantially the same manner and substantially the same
        extent that Company would be required to perform if not such succession had
        taken place. Upon such a consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or other
        business combination and assumption, the term “Company” used herein shall mean
        such other person or entity and this Agreement shall continue in full force
        and
        effect.

      

      Section
        11. Indemnification.
        The
        Company and BCI shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
        Employee, from and against any expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments,
        fines, taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
        incurred by Employee in connection with any threatened, pending or completed
        action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
        investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
        or
        employee of the Company. 

      

      Section
        12. Notices.
        All
        notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted
        hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
        given

        Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Employee

        the
        prior written consent of the Company. Any attempted assignment in violation

        this Section 13 shall be null and void.

      

      Section
        14. Governing
        Law.
        This
        Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal

        principles thereof.

      

      Section
        15. Dispute
        Resolution. Any
        dispute or controversy between the Company and the Employee relating to this
        Agreement, unless otherwise specifically required by a plan document, shall

        the
        Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey, law division, Bergen County vicinage.

        aforesaid courts constitute on inconvenient forum. 

      

      Section
        16. Entire
        Agreement.
        This
        Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect
        to the matters covered hereby and shall supersede any and all previous written,
        oral or implied understandings among them with respect to such
        matters.

      

      Section
        17. Amendments.
        This
        Agreement may only be amended or otherwise modified, and compliance with
        any
        provision hereof may only be waived, by a writing executed by all of the
        parties
        hereto. 

      

      Section
        18. Counterparts.
        This
        Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
        be
        deemed to be an original, and all of which shall together be deemed to
        constitute one and the same instrument. 

      

      Section
        19. Waiver.
        Any of
        the terms or conditions of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the
        party
        or parties entitled to the benefit thereof, but only by a writing signed
        by the
        party or parties waiving such terms or conditions. No waiver of any provisions
        of this Agreement or of any rights or benefits arising hereunder shall be
        deemed
        to or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement
        (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver
        unless otherwise expressly provided in writing.

      Section
        20. Severability.
        The
        invalidity of any portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or
        effect
        of the remaining portions hereof. If it is ever held that any restriction
        hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest
        extent, such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted
        by
        law.

      

      Section
        21. Survival.
        The
        covenants set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement shall survive and
        shall continue to be binding upon Employee notwithstanding the termination
        of
        this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. The covenants set forth in Sections
        6
        and 7 of this Agreement shall be deemed and construed as separate agreements
        independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any
        claim
        or cause of action by Employee against Company, whether predicated on this
        Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement
        by
        Company of any or all covenants. It is expressly agreed that the remedy at
        law
        for the breach or any such covenant is inadequate and that injunctive relief
        shall be available to prevent the breach or any threatened breach thereof.

        the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, and the Employee has signed this
