              As
      used herein, “Cause” shall
      mean, as determined by a majority of the Board (excluding the Executive,
      if he is then a member of the Board), (i) any act of embezzlement,
      dishonesty or fraud taken by the Executive; (ii) the Executive’s

              As
      used herein, “Disability”
      shall mean a physical or mental impairment which, as determined by the
      Board, renders the Executive unable to perform the essential functions of
      his employment with the Company, even with reasonable accommodation that
      does not impose an undue hardship on the Company, for more than 90 days in
      any twelve (12) month period, unless a longer period is required by
      applicable laws, in which case that longer period would
    apply.

              3.2

            	
              Termination
      by the Executive.  The Executive’s employment by the
      Company, and the Employment Period, may be terminated by the Executive
      with no less than thirty (30) days prior notice to the Company, provided that
      the Executive may provide immediate notice in the event of a Constructive
      Termination (as defined immediately below), if not cured within thirty
      (30) days after the occurrence
thereof.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              As
      used herein, “Constructive
      Termination” shall mean, without the Executive’s express written
      consent, (i) there is a material reduction in the Executive’s powers,
      duties and responsibilities, or (ii) there is a material reduction in the
      Executive’s base salary, opportunity for bonus and incentive payments, or
      overall benefits package.

            

    

     

    
      	
              3.3

            	
              Benefits
      upon termination. If the Executive’s employment by the Company is
      terminated during the Employment Period for any reason by the Company or
      by the Executive (in any case, the date that the Executive’s employment by
      the Company terminates is referred to as the “Severance
      Date”), the Company shall have no further obligation to make or
      provide to the Executive, and the Executive shall have no further right to
      receive or obtain from the Company, any payments or benefits except as
      follows:

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              The
      Company shall pay the Executive (or, in the event of the Executive’s
      death, the Executive’s estate) any base salary, bonus and incentive
      payment that had accrued under this Agreement but had not been paid on or
      before the Severance Date, and any reimbursement due to the Executive
      under this Agreement for expenses incurred by the Executive on or before
      the Severance Date.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              If,
      during the Employment Period, the Executive’s employment with the Company
      is terminated as a result of a Constructive Termination or terminated by
      the Company without Cause, the Executive shall be entitled to receive an
      amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Executive’s annualized base
      salary as in effect on the Severance Date (the “Severance
      Benefit”).  The Company shall pay the Severance Benefit
      to the Executive in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll
      practices in effect from time to time, but not less frequently than in
      monthly installments.

            

    

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3, if the Executive breaches his
obligations under Section 4 of this Agreement at any time, from and after the
date of such breach, the Executive shall no longer be entitled to, and the
Company shall no longer be obligated to pay, any remaining unpaid portion of the
Severance Benefits.

     

    The
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the Executive’s
receipt of benefits otherwise due terminated employees consistent with the terms
of applicable benefit plans or programs of the Company or applicable
laws.

     

    
      	
              3.4

            	
              Notice
      of termination.  Any termination of the Executive’s
      employment under this Agreement shall be communicated by written notice of
      termination from the terminating party to the other party. The notice of
      termination shall indicate the specific provision(s) of this Agreement
      relied upon in effecting the
termination.

                Resignation from the
      Board.       Executive
      hereby agrees that any termination of this Agreement shall also constitute
      submission to the Board of Executive’s resignation from the Board, if the
      Executive is a member of the Board at such
time.

              4.1

            	
              Executive’s
      acknowledgment.  The Executive agrees and acknowledges
      that in order to assure the Company that it will retain its value as a
      going concern, it is necessary that the Executive undertakes not to
      utilize his special knowledge of the Business and his relationships with
      persons and entities in the Business and  relationships with
      customers and suppliers to compete with the Company.  The
      Executive further acknowledges that: (i) the Company is and will be
      engaged in the Business; (ii) the Executive has occupied a position of
      trust and confidence with the Company prior to the date of this Agreement
      and, during such period the Executive has, and during the term of this
      Agreement the Executive will, become familiar with the Company’s trade
      secrets and with other proprietary and confidential information concerning
      the Company and the Business; (iii) the agreements and covenants contained
      in this Section 4 are essential to protect the Company and the goodwill of
      the Business; and (iv) the Executive’s employment with the Company has
      special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and the Company
      would suffer irreparable harm, for which money damages would not
      constitute adequate compensation, if the Executive were to provide
      services to any person or entity in violation of the provisions of this
      Agreement or otherwise violate any of the terms of this Section
      4.

            

    

    

    
      	
              4.2

            	
              Competitive
      activities.  The
      Executive hereby agrees that for a period (the “Restricted Period”)
      commencing on the date hereof and ending two years following the
      termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for whatever
      reason, the Executive shall not, on behalf of himself or any other
      individual or group of individuals, firm, company, corporation,
      partnership, trust or other entity or enterprise or successor in interest
      to any of the foregoing, or any employee, partner, officer, director,
      partner, or stockholder of any of the foregoing, directly or indirectly,
      as an employee, proprietor, stockholder, partner, consultant, or
      otherwise, engage in any business or activity directly competitive with
      the Business or any of the business activities of the Company as they are
      now, currently proposed to be, or are, at the time in question, undertaken
      by the Company, anywhere in the territory of North America or China (the
      “Territory”), except as expressly approved by the Board in
      writing.  With respect to the Territory, the Executive
      specifically acknowledges that the Company has conducted the Business
      throughout those areas comprising the Territory and the Company intends to
      continue to expand the Business throughout the
  Territory.

              Blue-pencil.  If any
      court of competent jurisdiction shall at any time deem the term of this
      Agreement or any particular covenant contained in this Section 4,
      including, without limitation, the Restricted Period, to be too lengthy or
      the Territory to be too extensive, the other provisions of this Section 4
      shall nevertheless stand, the Restricted Period shall be deemed to be the
      longest period permissible by law under the circumstances and the
      Territory shall be deemed to comprise the largest territory permissible by
      law under the circumstances.  The court in each case shall
      reduce the Restricted Period and/or the Territory to permissible duration
      or size.

              4.4

            	
              Confidential
      information.  During the
      term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, the
      Executive shall keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, and shall
      not, without the prior written consent of the Board, furnish, make
      available or disclose to any third party or use for the benefit of himself
      or any third party, any Confidential Information.  As used in
      this Section 4.4, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean any
      information relating to the business or affairs of the Company or the
      Business, including, but not limited to, information relating to financial
      statements, customer identities, potential customers, employees,
      suppliers, servicing methods, equipment, programs, strategies and
      information, analyses, profit margins or other proprietary information
      used by the Company in connection with the Business; provided, however,
      that Confidential Information shall not include any information which is
      the public domain, becomes generally known in the industry through no
      wrongful act on the part of the Executive or as required to be disclosed
      by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Executive
      acknowledges that the Confidential Information is vital, sensitive,
      confidential and proprietary to the
Company.

      Executive hereby agrees that all right, title and interest in and to all
      of the Executive’s “Creations” and work product made during the term of
      the Executive’s employment with the Company, whether pursuant to this
      Agreement or otherwise, shall belong solely to the Company, whether or not
      they are protected or protectable under applicable patent, trademark,
      service mark, copyright or trade secret laws.  For purposes of
      this Section 5, the term “Creations” shall mean all inventions, designs,
      discoveries, books, newsletters, manuscripts, articles, research,
      compilations, improvements, and other works which are or may be
      copyrighted, trade-marked or patented or otherwise constitute works of
      intellectual property which may be protected (including, without
      limitation, any information relating to the Company’s software products,
      source code, know-how, processes, designs, algorithms, computer programs
      and routines, formulae, techniques, developments or experimental work,
      works-in-progress, or business trade secrets whether now existing, or
      hereafter developed during the term of this Agreement) made or conceived
      or reduced to practice by the Company.  The Executive agrees
      that all work or other material containing or reflecting any such
      Creations shall be deemed work made for hire as defined in Section 101 of
      the Copyright Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 101.  If a court of
      competent jurisdiction determines that any such works are not works made
      for hire, the Executive hereby assigns to the Company all of the
      Executive’s right, title and interest, including all rights of copyright,
      patent, and other intellectual property rights, to or in such
      Creations.

            

    

     

    The
Executive covenants that he shall keep the Company informed of the development
of all Creations made, conceived or reduced to practice by the Company, in whole
or in part, by the Executive or any other alone or with others, which either
result from any work the Executive may do for, or at the request of, the
Company, or are related to the Company’s present or contemplated activities,
investigations, or obligations.  The Executive further agrees that (i)
at the Company’s request and expense, he will execute any assignments or any
other documents or instruments necessary to transfer all rights any such
Creations to the Company and (ii) he will cooperate with the Company or its
nominee in perfecting the Company’s title (or the title of the Company’s
nominee) in any or all such materials.

      representative capacity intentionally solicit or encourage any present or
      future customer, employee, consultant, service provider, stockholder,

              ENTIRE
      AGREEMENT. This Agreement (including the provisions incorporated
      herein by reference) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding
      between the Executive and the Company regarding the terms of the
      Executive’s employment by the Company and supersedes all prior or
      contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning such subject matter.
      The Executive acknowledges that he has not entered into this Agreement in
      reliance upon any representation, warranty or undertaking which is not set
      forth in this Agreement.

            

    

     

    
      	
              13.

            	
              AMENDMENT.
      This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed (in whole or in
      part), except by a formal, definitive written agreement expressly
      referring to this Agreement, which agreement is executed by both of the
      parties hereto.

            

    

    

    
      	
              14.

            	
              DISPUTE
      RESOLUTION. Both the Executive or the Company shall  have
      any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
      Agreement settled by arbitration, by providing written notice of such
      election to the other party hereto, specifying the nature of the dispute
      to be arbitrated.  Such arbitration shall be held before a panel
      of three (3) arbitrators at the American Arbitration Association in New
      York and pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in
      effect.  Judgment may be entered on the award of the arbitrators
      in any court having competent
jurisdiction.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              The
      prevailing  party in any litigation or arbitration seeking to
      enforce the provisions of this Agreement shall be entitled to
      reimbursement from the other party of all expenses of such litigation or
      arbitration, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its legal
      representative and necessary costs and disbursements incurred as a result
      of such dispute or legal
proceeding.

            

    

     

    
      	
              15.

            	
              WAIVER.  Neither
      the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right,
      remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver
      thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
      power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same, nor
      shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to
      any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or
      privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be
      effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to
      have granted such waiver.

            

    

     

    
      	
              16.

            	
              NOTICES.
      All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or
      permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
      have been duly given and made if (i) delivered by hand,
      (ii) otherwise delivered against receipt therefor, or (iii) sent
      by a recognized courier to the last known address of the other
      party.

              COUNTERPARTS.
      This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
      shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute
      one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one
      or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear
      the signatures of both parties. Photographic copies of such signed
      counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any
      purpose.

              NO
      INTERPRETATION AGAINST DRAFTER. Each party recognizes that this
      Agreement is a legally binding agreement and acknowledges that it or he
      has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of choice. In any
      construction of the terms of this Agreement, the same shall not be
      construed against either party on the basis of that party being the
      drafter of such terms.

            

    

     

    
      	
              19.

            	
              GOVERNING
      LAW.  To the
      extent not preempted by U.S. federal law, the provisions of this Agreement
      shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal,
      substantive laws of the State of New York, without regards to the
      principles of conflicts of laws
thereof.
