      EMPLOYMENT
        AGREEMENT

      

      

      This
        Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made effective this 1st
        day of
        January, 2006, by and between LEVEL 8 SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation
        (the
“Company”), and Anthony Pizi, a resident of the State of New Jersey (the
“Employee”). 

      

      In
        consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and conditions set forth
        in this
        Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
        sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
        follows:

      

      
        	
                1.

              	
                Employment. 
                  The Company hereby employs Employee and Employee hereby accepts
                  such
                  employment upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
                  

              

      

      

      
        	
                2.

              	
                Duties
                  of Employee. 
                  Employee’s title will be Chief Information Officer. Employee will be based
                  in New Jersey. Employee agrees to perform and discharge such other
                  duties
                  as may be assigned to Employee from time to time by the Company
                  to the
                  reasonable satisfaction of the Company, and such duties will be
                  consistent
                  with those duties regularly and customarily assigned by the Company
                  to the
                  position of Chief Information Officer. Employee also agrees to
                  comply with
                  all of the Company's policies, standards and regulations and to
                  follow the
                  instructions and directives as promulgated by the Chief Executive
                  Officer
                  of the Company. Employee will devote Employee's full professional
                  and
                  business-related time, skills and best efforts to such duties and
                  will
                  not, during the term of this Agreement, be engaged (whether or
                  not during
                  normal business hours) in any other business or professional activity,
                  whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other
                  pecuniary advantage, without the prior written consent of the Chief
                  Executive Officer of the Company. This Section will not be construed
                  to
                  prevent Employee from (a) investing personal assets in businesses
                  which do
                  not compete with the Company in such form or manner that will not
                  require
                  any services on the part of Employee in the operation or the affairs
                  of
                  the companies in which such investments are made and in which Employee's
                  participation is solely that of an investor; (b) purchasing securities
                  in
                  any corporation whose securities are listed on a national securities
                  exchange or regularly traded in the over-the-counter market, provided
                  that
                  Employee at no time owns, directly or indirectly, in excess of
                  one percent
                  (1%) of the outstanding stock of any class of any such corporation
                  engaged
                  in a business competitive with that of the Company; or (c) participating
                  in conferences, preparing and publishing papers or books, teaching
                  or
                  joining or participating in any professional associations or trade
                  group.

              

      

      

      
        	
                3.

              	
                Term. 
                  The term of this Agreement will be at-will, and can be terminated
                  by
                  either party at any time, with or without cause, subject to the
                  provisions
                  of Section 4 of this Agreement.

                Termination.

              

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      
        	 	
                (a)

              	
                Termination
                  by Company for Cause. 
                  The Company may terminate this Agreement and all of its obligations
                  hereunder immediately, including the obligation to pay Employee
                  severance,
                  vacation pay or any further accrued benefits or remuneration, if
                  any of
                  the following events occur:

              

      

      

      
        	 	
                (i)

              	
                Employee
                  materially breaches any of the terms or conditions set forth in
                  this
                  Agreement and fails to cure such breach within ten (10) days after
                  Employee's receipt from the Company of written notice of such breach
                  (notwithstanding the foregoing, no cure period shall be applicable
                  to
                  breaches by Employee of Sections 10 through 14 of this
                  Agreement);

              

      

      

      
        	 	
                (ii)

              	
                Employee
                  commits any other act materially detrimental to the business or
                  reputation
                  of the Company;

              

      

      

      
        	 	
                (iii)

              	
                Employee
                  engages in dishonest or illegal activities or commits or is convicted
                  of
                  any crime involving fraud, deceit or moral turpitude;
                  or

              

      

      

      
        	 	
                (iv)

              	
                Employee
                  dies or becomes mentally or physically incapacitated or disabled
                  so as to
                  be unable to perform Employee's duties under this Agreement even
                  with a
                  reasonable accommodation. Without limiting the generality of the
                  foregoing, Employee's inability adequately to perform services
                  under this
                  Agreement for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days will be conclusive
                  evidence of such mental or physical incapacity or disability, unless
                  such
                  inability is pursuant to a mental or physical incapacity or disability
                  covered by the Family Medical Leave Act, in which case such sixty
                  (60) day
                  period shall be extended to a one hundred and twenty (120) day
                  period.

              

      

      

      
        	 	
                (b)

              	
                Termination
                  by Company Without Cause. 
                  The Company may terminate Employee's employment pursuant to this
                  Agreement
                  for reasons other than those stated in Section 4(a) upon at least
                  thirty
                  (30) days' prior written notice to Employee. In the event Employee's
                  employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without
                  cause,
                  the Company shall be obligated to pay Employee a lump sum severance
                  payment equal to one (1) year of Employee’s then base salary payable
                  within thirty (30) days after the date of termination. In addition,
                  Employee will be entitled to payment of all unused vacation days
                  at his
                  current daily rate and any accrued but unpaid salary or earned
                  bonuses.
                  Any option grants or restricted stock awards made to employee will
                  immediately vest. The payment to Employee for all deferred salaries
                  and
                  earned bonuses will be paid within 30 days by the Company. Other
                  than the
                  severance payments set forth in this Section 4(b), Employee will
                  be
                  entitled to receive no further remuneration and will not be entitled
                  to
                  participate in any Company benefit programs following his termination
                  by
                  the Company, whether such termination is with or without cause.
                  

              

      

      
        
          
          

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      
        	 	
                (c)

              	
                Termination
                  by Employee for Cause. 
                  In the event there occurs a substantial change in the Employee’s job
                  duties, or there is a decrease in or a failure to provide the compensation
                  or vested benefits under this Agreement initiated by either the
                  Company or
                  as a result of a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company,
                  Employee shall have the right to resign his employment and will
                  be
                  entitled to a lump sum severance payment equal to twelve (12) months
                  of
                  Employee’s then base salary payable within thirty (30) days after the date
                  of termination. In addition, Employee will be entitled to payment
                  of all
                  unused vacation days at his current daily rate and a lump sum equal
                  to all
                  deferred salaries and earned bonuses. In addition, all Employee’s then
                  outstanding but unvested stock options shall vest one hundred percent
                  (100%). Employee shall have 12 months from the date written notice
                  is
                  given to Employee about the announcement and closing of a transaction
                  resulting a Change of Control that would result in a substantial
                  change in
                  the Employee’s job duties or decrease his compensation or vested benefits
                  under this Agreement to resign or this Section 4(c) shall not apply.
                  In
                  the event Employee resigns from the Company for any other reason,
                  Employee
                  will not be entitled to receive or accrue any further Company benefits
                  or
                  other remuneration under this Agreement, and Employee specifically
                  agrees
                  that he will not be entitled to receive any severance
                  pay.

              

      

      

      For
        purposes of this Section 4, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred
        if any of the following occur:

      

      
        	 	
                (i)

              	
                the
                  merger of consolidation of the Company with or into another unaffiliated
                  entity, or the merger of another unaffiliated entity into the Company
                  or
                  another subsidiary thereof with the effect that immediately after
                  such
                  transaction the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to
                  such
                  transaction hold less than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting
                  power
                  of all securities generally entitled to vote in the election of

        known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons
        who can derive economic value from its disclosure or use. For purposes of

        the Company for whatever reason.

                  is a
                  full-time employee or temporary employee of the Company, whether
                  or not

                Proprietary
                  Rights. 
                  During the course of Employee's employment with the Company, Employee
                  may
                  make, develop or conceive of useful processes, machines, compositions
                  of

                  such
                  algorithm, or any other discovery, idea, concept, document or improvement
                  which relates to or is useful to the Company's Business (the
                  “Inventions”), whether or not subject to copyright or patent protection,
                  and which may or may not be considered Proprietary Information.
                  Employee
                  acknowledges that all such Inventions will be “works made for hire” under
                  United States copyright law and will remain the sole and exclusive
                  property of the Company. Employee also hereby assigns and agrees
                  to assign
                  to the Company, in perpetuity, all right, title and interest Employee
                  may
                  have in and to such Inventions, including without limitation, all
                  copyrights, and the right to apply for any form of patent, utility
                  model,
                  industrial design or similar proprietary right recognized by any
                  state,
                  country or jurisdiction. Employee further agrees, at the Company's
                  request
                  and expense, to do all things and sign all documents or instruments
                  necessary, in the opinion of the Company, to eliminate any ambiguity
                  as to
                  the ownership of, and rights of the Company to, such Inventions,
                  including
                  filing copyright and patent registrations and defending and enforcing
                  in
                  litigation or otherwise all such rights.

              

      

      

      Employee
        will not be obligated to assign to the Company any Invention made by Employee
        while in the Company's employ which does not relate to any business or activity
        in which the Company is or may reasonably be expected to become engaged,
        except
        that Employee is so obligated if the same relates to or is based on Proprietary
        Information to which Employee will have had access during and by virtue of
        Employee's employment or which arises out of work assigned to Employee by
        the
        Company. Employee will not be obligated to assign any Invention which may
        be
        wholly conceived by Employee after Employee leaves the employ of the Company,
        except that Employee is so obligated if such Invention involves the utilization
        of Proprietary Information obtained while in the employ of the Company. Employee
        is not obligated to assign any Invention that relates to or would be useful
        in
        any business or activities in which the Company is engaged if such Invention
        was
        conceived and reduced to practice by Employee prior to Employee's employment
        with the Company. Employee agrees that any such Invention is set forth on
        Exhibit “A” to this Agreement.

                Remedies. 
                  Employee agrees and acknowledges that the violation of any of the
                  covenants or agreements contained in Sections 10 through 14 of
                  this
                  Agreement would cause irreparable injury to the Company, that the
                  remedy
                  at law for any such violation or threatened violation thereof would
                  be
                  inadequate, and that the Company will be entitled, in addition
                  to any
                  other remedy, to temporary and permanent injunctive or other equitable
                  relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting
                  a
                  bond.

                  respect,
                  the parties agree that it is their intent that the same will not
                  affect
                  any other provision in this Agreement, and this Agreement will
                  be
                  construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision
                  had
                  never been contained herein. It is the intent of the parties that
                  this

                  law.

                  parties

                Governing

                  This Agreement is entered into and will be interpreted and enforced
                  pursuant to the laws of the State of New Jersey. The parties hereto
                  hereby
                  agree that the appropriate forum and venue for any disputes between
                  any of
                  the parties hereto arising out of this Agreement shall be any federal
                  court in the state where the Employee has his principal place of
                  residence
                  and each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction
                  of any such court. The foregoing shall not limit the rights of
                  any party
                  to obtain execution of judgment in any other jurisdiction. The
                  parties
                  further agree, to the extent permitted by law, that a final and
                  unappealable judgment against either of them in any action or proceeding
                  contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any
                  other
                  jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the
                  judgment,

                  of the
                  fact and amount of such judgment.
