          to  purchase  Shares  or other  securities  of the  Company,  or other

          underlying any Substitute Award shall be counted against the aggregate
          number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan.

          pursuant to an Award may consist,  in whole or in part,  of authorized

          Shares of Restricted  Stock shall be granted,  the number of shares of
          Restricted  Stock to be granted to each  Participant,  the duration of
          the  period  during  which,   and  the  conditions  under  which,  the

          provided in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement (including, but
          not  limited  to,   provisions  in  the  Applicable   Award  Agreement
          permitting  certain transfers to immediate family members,  trusts for
          the benefit of immediate family members or the  Participant,  or other

     d.   Performance Compensation Awards.

          i.   General.  The Committee shall have the authority,  at the time of
               grant of any Award,  to  designate  such  Award as a  Performance
               Compensation   Award   in  order  to   qualify   such   Award  as
               "performance-based  compensation"  under  Section  162(m)  of the
               Code.

          ii.  Eligibility.   The  Committee  will,  in  its  sole   discretion,
               designate  within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m)

               Performance  Compensation  Awards in respect of such  Performance
               Period. However, designation of a Participant eligible to receive
               an Award  hereunder  for a  Performance  Period  shall not in any
               manner entitle the  Participant to receive  payment in respect of
               any Performance  Compensation Award for such Performance  Period.
               The  determination as to whether or not such Participant  becomes
               entitled  to payment in respect of any  Performance  Compensation
               Award shall be decided  solely in accordance  with the provisions
               of this  paragraph  (d).  Moreover,  designation of a Participant
               eligible  to  receive  an  Award   hereunder   for  a  particular
               Performance   Period  shall  not  require   designation  of  such
               Participant  eligible  to  receive  an  Award  hereunder  in  any
               subsequent  Performance Period and designation of one Person as a
               Participant  eligible  to  receive an Award  hereunder  shall not
               require designation of any other Person as a Participant eligible
               to  receive  an Award  hereunder  in such  period or in any other
               period.

          iii. Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance  Compensation
               Awards.  With  regard to a  particular  Performance  Period,  the
               Committee shall have full discretion to select the length of such
               Performance Period, the Performance Criteria that will be used to
               establish  the  Performance  Goals,  the kinds and  levels of the
               Performance  Goals  that  are to  apply  to the  Company  and the
               Performance Formula. Within the within the maximum period allowed
               under  Section  162(m) of the Code,  the  Committee  shall,  with
               regard to the  Performance  Compensation  Awards to be issued for
               such Performance Period,  exercise its discretion with respect to
               each  of the  matters  enumerated  in the  immediately  preceding
               sentence of this paragraph (d) and record the same in writing.

          iv.  Payment of Performance Compensation Awards.

               (a)  Condition to Receipt of Payment.  Unless otherwise  provided
                    in the applicable  Award  Agreement,  a Participant  must be
                    employed  by the  Company  on the last day of a  Performance
                    Period to be eligible to receive  Shares or other payment in
                    respect  of  a  Performance   Compensation  Award  for  such
                    Performance Period.

               (b)  Limitation.  A  Participant  shall be  eligible  to  receive
                    payment in

<PAGE>

                    respect  of a  Performance  Compensation  Award  only to the
                    extent that: (A) the  Performance  Goals for such period are
                    achieved; and (B) the Performance Formula as applied against
                    such  Performance  Goals determines that all or some portion
                    of such Participant's  Performance Award has been earned for
                    the Performance Period.

               (c)  Certification.  Following  the  completion  of a Performance
                    Period,  the  Committee  shall meet to review and certify in
                    writing whether,  and to what extent,  the Performance Goals
                    for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, to
                    calculate   and  certify  in  writing  that  amount  of  the
                    Performance  Compensation Awards earned for the period based
                    upon the  Performance  Formula.  The  Committee  shall  then
                    determine the actual size of each Participant's  Performance
                    Compensation Award for the Performance Period.

               (d)  Maximum  Award   Payable.   Notwithstanding   any  provision
                    contained  in  this  Plan  to  the  contrary,   the  maximum
                    Performance   Compensation   Award   payable   to  any   one
                    Participant  under the Plan for a Performance  Period is the
                    Fair  Market  Value  of such  Shares  on the last day of the

          rights of any  Participant  or any holder or  beneficiary of any Award
          theretofore  granted shall not to that extent be effective without the
          consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary.

     c.   Adjustment  of  Awards  Upon the  Occurrence  of  Certain  Unusual  or
          Nonrecurring  Events.  The  Committee  is  hereby  authorized  to make
          adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria  included
          in,  Awards in  recognition  of (i)  unusual  or  nonrecurring  events
          (including,  without limitation,  the events described in Section 4(b)
          of the Plan)  affecting the Company,  any Affiliate,  or the financial
          statements  of the  Company  or any  Affiliate,  or  (ii)  changes  in
          applicable laws, regulations,  or accounting principles,  whenever, in
          any  such  case,  the  Committee   determines  such   adjustments  are
          appropriate  in  order  to  prevent  dilution  or  enlargement  of the
          benefits or potential  benefits that are intended to be made available
          under the Plan, or otherwise.

     a.   Nontransferability.  Except as  otherwise  provided in the Plan or the
          Applicable Award Agreement (including,  but not limited to, provisions
          in the Applicable  Award Agreement  permitting  transfers to immediate
          family members,  trusts for the benefit of immediate family members or
          the  Participant,  or other  similar  arrangements),  no Award  may be
          assigned,  alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred
          or encumbered by a Participant  otherwise  than by will or by the laws
          of  descent  and  distribution,  and any  such  purported  assignment,
          alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be
          void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided,
          however, that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an
          assignment,   alienation,   pledge,  attachment,   sale,  transfer  or
          encumbrance.

     b.   No Rights to Awards.  No  Participant  or other  Person shall have any
          claim  to be  granted  any  Award,  and  there  is no  obligation  for
          uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of
          Awards.  The  terms  and  conditions  of  Awards  and the  Committee's
          determinations  and  interpretations  with respect thereto need not be
          the  same  with  respect  to each  Participant  (whether  or not  such
          Participants are similarly situated).

     c.   Share Certificates. All certificates for Shares or other securities of
          the Company or any Affiliate  delivered under the Plan pursuant to any
          Award  shall  be  subject  to such  stop  transfer  orders  and  other
          restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the
          rules,  regulations,  and  other  requirements  of the SEC,  any stock
          exchange upon which such Shares or other  securities  are then listed,
          and any applicable  Federal or state laws, and the Committee may cause
          a  legend  or  legends  to be put on any  such  certificates  to  make
          appropriate reference to such restrictions.

     d.   Withholding.  A  Participant  may be required to pay to the Company or
          any Affiliates,  and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right
          and is hereby  authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment
          due or  transfer  made  under  any Award or under the Plan or from any
          compensation  or other amount owing to a  Participant,  the amount (in
          cash,  Shares,  other  securities,  other Awards or other  property as
          determined by the Committee in its sole  discretion) of any applicable
          withholding  taxes or other amounts in respect of an Award and to take
          such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to
          satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes and amounts. The
          Committee  may  provide  for  additional  cash  payments to holders of
          Awards to defray or offset any tax  arising  from the grant or vesting
          of any Award.

     e.   Award Agreements.  Each Award hereunder shall be evidenced by an Award
          Agreement  which  shall be  delivered  to the  Participant  and  shall
          specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable
          thereto,  including,  but not  limited to, the effect on such Award of
          the death,  disability  or  termination  of employment or service of a
          Participant  and the effect,  if any,  of such other  events as may be
          determined by the Committee.

     f.   No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.  Nothing contained in the
          Plan shall  prevent  the  Company or any  Affiliate  from  adopting or
          continuing  in  effect  other  compensation  arrangements,   and  such
          arrangements may be either generally  applicable or applicable only in
          specific cases.

     g.   No Right to  Employment.  The grant of an Award shall not be construed
          as giving a

                                      B-8
<PAGE>

          Participant  the  right to be  retained  in the  employ  of, or in any
          consulting relationship with, the Company or any Affiliate.

     h.   No Rights as Stockholder.  Subject to the provisions of the applicable
          Award, no  Participant,  holder or beneficiary of any Award shall have
          any rights as a  stockholder  with respect to any shares of Restricted
          Stock to be distributed under the Plan until such shares of Restricted
          Stock  shall be issued in  accordance  with this Plan and the terms of
          the applicable  Award  Agreement.  From and after the date of original
          issuance,  a  Participant  shall  have the right to vote the shares of
          Restricted  Stock  and to  receive  and to retain  all cash  dividends
          payable or distributable to holders of Shares of record. In connection
          with each grant of Restricted  Stock  hereunder,  the applicable Award
          Agreement shall specify if and to what extent the Participant shall be
          entitled  to  other  rights  of  a  stockholder  in  respect  of  such
          Restricted Stock.

     i.   Governing Law. The validity,  construction, and effect of the Plan and
          any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award Agreement
          shall be determined  in  accordance  with the laws of the State of New
          York.

     j.   Severability.  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes
          or  is  deemed  to  be  invalid,  illegal,  or  unenforceable  in  any
          jurisdiction  or as to any Person or Award,  or would  disqualify  the
          Plan or any Award under any law deemed  applicable  by the  Committee,
          such  provision  shall be construed  or deemed  amended to conform the
          applicable  laws,  or if it cannot  be  construed  or  deemed  amended
          without,  in the determination of the Committee,  materially  altering
          the intent of the Plan or the Award,  such provision shall be stricken
          as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan
          and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

     k.   Other Laws.  The  Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Shares
          or  other  consideration  under  an  Award  if,  acting  in  its  sole
          discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares
          or such  other  consideration  might  violate  any  applicable  law or
          regulation  or entitle the  Company to recover the same under  Section
          16(b) of the Exchange  Act.  Without  limiting the  generality  of the
          foregoing,  no Award granted  hereunder shall be construed as an offer
          to  sell  securities  of the  Company,  and no  such  offer  shall  be
          outstanding, unless and until the Committee in its sole discretion has
          determined that any such offer,  if made,  would be in compliance with
          all applicable requirements of the U.S. federal securities laws.

     l.   No Trust or Fund Created.  Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create
          or be  construed  to create a trust or separate  fund of any kind or a
          fiduciary  relationship  between  the Company or any  Affiliate  and a
          Participant  or any  other  Person.  To the  extent  that  any  Person
          acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate
          pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of
          any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

     m.   No  Fractional  Shares.  No  fractional  Shares  shall  be  issued  or
          delivered  pursuant to the Plan or any Award,  and the Committee shall
          determine whether cash, other  securities,  or other property shall be
          paid or transferred  in lieu of any fractional  Shares or whether such
          fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated,
          or otherwise eliminated.

     n.   Headings.  Headings are given to the Sections and  subsections  of the
          Plan solely as a convenience  to facilitate  reference.  Such headings
          shall not be deemed in any way

                                      B-9
<PAGE>

          material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan
          or any provision thereof.

9.   Term of the Plan.

     a.   Effective Date. The Plan shall become  effective as of the date of its
          approval  by the  Board;  provided,  however,  that no Award  shall be
          exercisable  unless the Plan is  approved by the  stockholders  of the
          Company.

     b.   Expiration. The Plan shall terminate 10 years after the earlier of the
          date on which it becomes  effective and the date it is approved by the
          stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Awards
          made under the Plan  prior to such  termination  date shall  remain in
          effect  until  such  Awards  have  been  satisfied  or  terminated  in
          accordance  with  the  terms  and  provisions  of  the  Plan  and  the
          applicable Award Agreement.

Margin or $2,118,000] is subtracted from actual annual Contribution  Margin. Any

equals 22% of the  excess.  Employee  will be  entitled to 100% of the AIP award
pool subject to a maximum AIP award equal to $125,000.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in the terms of the Plan,  Employer agrees that during
the Term of this Employment Agreement, Employee's bonus calculated in accordance
with the Plan and  subject to the  provisions  of this  Section 4.5 shall not be
subject to any discretionary reduction and shall be

                                       5
<PAGE>

subject to pro-ration for partial periods  notwithstanding  any discretionary or
permissive features contained in the Plan.

     4.6 Options. On or about June 30, 1999, Employee shall receive an option to
purchase  10,000  shares of Kaye Group  Inc.  stock at an  exercise  price to be

stock on the date that the option is granted), in accordance with the Kaye Group
Inc. Supplemental Stock Option Plan.

     4.7 Restricted Stock. Employee shall be granted Kaye Group Inc. Performance
Stock,  (pursuant to the Kaye Group Inc. Stock  Performance Plan) with a trading
value  (as of the date of the  grant)  of  $100,000  (13004  shares @ $7.69  per
share).  A copy of the Kaye  Group Inc.  Stock  Performance  Plan and  Agreement
Letter are Attachments B and C, respectively to this Agreement.

     4.8 Employer  agrees to purchase a split-dollar  life insurance  policy for
the benefit of  Employee in  accordance  with the  insurance  plan and terms set
forth on  Schedule  4.8  annexed  hereto.  In the event of a Change in  Control,
Employee  shall have the option to assume  ownership of such  split-dollar  life
insurance  policy from Employer,  and Employer shall recoup,  from the insurance
company  which  issued the  policy,  all  premiums  paid  through  the date that
Employee assumes ownership of the policy.

5. Representations and Warranties

     5.1  Subject  only to the matters  described  in the  following  paragraph,
Employee  warrants  that he has full  power  and  authority  to enter  into this
Agreement and that such act, and the  performance of his  obligations  hereunder
will not conflict with any other agreements or  understandings  to which he is a
party or by which he is bound.

     Employer  acknowledges that Employer has received and reviewed with counsel
a copy of the Employment Agreement between Employee and Kalvin Miller Consulting
Group, Inc. ("Previous  Employer") dated August 1, 1995 and amended as of August
1, 1998 (the "Previous Agreement"). Employer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
Employee harmless from and against any claim or litigation  asserted by Previous
Employer  against  Employee  arising  from the  provisions  of  Section 6 of the
Previous Agreement or from the commencement of the term of Employee's employment
hereunder,  including the costs of defense (including reasonable attorneys' fees
and  disbursements),  as well  as the  costs  of any  liability  or  settlement.
Employer  may defend any such  matter with  counsel of its choice,  who shall be
reasonably acceptable to Employee. Employee shall cooperate with Employer in the
defense of any such claim and shall be entitled to  participate  in such defense
at his own cost with counsel of his choice.

     5.2 Employee  represents and warrants that to the extent that he heretofore
received any  proprietary,  confidential or privileged  information of any third
party,  Employee is instructed and agrees to keep such information in confidence
in fulfillment  of his legal,  ethical  and/or  contractual  obligations to such
third party. Employer neither requests nor desires any disclosure of such

                                       6
<PAGE>

information  to Employer.

     5.3 Each party hereto  represents  and warrants that this  Agreement is the
valid and binding  obligation of such party,  enforceable  against such party in
accordance  with its terms,  except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency,  reorganization,  or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors'  rights  generally or by limitations on the availability of equitable
remedies.

     5.4 Employee represents and warrants that he holds a current, valid license
issued by the New York  Insurance  Department,  a copy of which is  attached  as
Exhibit 5.4 to this Agreement.

6.  Limitations  on Competing  Interests

     6.1 During the term of this  Agreement,  Employee shall not,  without prior
written  disclosure  to the Employer and consent by it,  acquire or maintain any
material,   financial  or  economic   interest  in,  or  accept  any   position,
association,   employment,   gratuities   or   compensation   from  any  person,
corporation,  firm,  partnership  or other entity  whatsoever  whose business is
competitive with the business of the Employer or its affiliates.

     6.2 No provision  of this  Agreement  shall be deemed to prohibit  Employee
from making passive  business  investments or serving on the boards of directors
of civic groups or of other  businesses that do not compete with Employer or its
affiliates so long as such activities do not conflict with the written  policies
of Employer,  including any policies requiring the disclosure of such activities
or preclude Employee from performing his obligations pursuant to this Agreement;
provided,   however,  that  neither  Employer  nor  its  affiliates  shall  have
responsibility  or liability  for any such  activities  of Employee.  Employer's
written  policies  applicable  to  Employee  shall  contain  the same  terms and
conditions   generally   applicable  to  employees  of   comparable   levels  of
responsibility and compensation.

7. Securities Law Compliance

     7.1 Employee represents and warrants as follows:

     (a) no event,  act or omission has occurred  prior to the effective date of
this Agreement  (including without limitation any criminal conviction or failure

administrative decree or order by which Employee is bound or event affecting any
business  as to which  Employee  was a  director,  officer  employee  or service
provider)  which  would in any manner (i)  require  disclosure  pursuant  to the

regarding  disclosures of  "Involvement in certain legal  proceedings";  or (ii)
limit  Employee's  ability to serve as an employee of the publicly held company;
or (iii) occasion the concern of any Federal or State regulatory body (including
without limitation the Securities and Exchange Commission or any body with which

qualification,  character or fitness,  or (iv) result in the refusal or inaction
of any provider of

                                       7
<PAGE>

directors and officers liability insurance and/or errors and omissions insurance
and/or fidelity insurance to include Employee within its coverage; and

     7.2 In  amplification  of 7.1  above,  except as  disclosed  in  writing to
Employer,  Employee has not been in any manner involved in any civil,  criminal,
judicial or regulatory proceeding involving any insurance or reinsurance broker,
agent, consultant or intermediary,  and/or any entity with responsibility of any
nature  or kind for the  auditing  of the  foregoing  or for the  monitoring  or
investment of the assets of the foregoing.

     7.3  Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest;  Abstention  from  Speculation in
Securities of Client

     (a) In order to avoid actual or apparent  conflicts  of interest,  Employee
shall take all necessary  actions to disclose to Employer any direct or indirect

insurer or reinsurer of the Employer or which is engaged in by the Employer.

     (b)While Employee is employed by Employer,  Employee shall abstain from any
direct or indirect  acquisition  of securities of the Employer or its clients or
customers  except as may be  specifically  approved in writing by Employer  upon
Employee's  prior  written  request,  and from  divulging  or  appropriating  to
Employee's own use or to that of others any secret,  confidential or proprietary
information  or knowledge  regarding the Employer,  its clients or customers for
the  purpose  of  speculation  in the  securities  of any of them.

     7.4 General  Requirements  Employee  shall  observe such  business  ethics,
premises  security and similar  Employer  requirements as may from  time-to-time
apply generally to employees  having  comparable  levels of  responsibility  and
compensation.

     7.5 Insider  Trading  Considering  that the Employer is a  subsidiary  of a
publicly-traded  corporation,  Employee  hereby agrees that Employee will comply
with any and all federal and state  securities laws including but not limited to
those  that  relate  to non  disclosure  of  information,  insider  trading  and
individual reporting requirements and shall specifically abstain from discussing
the Employer's business affairs with any individual who does not have a business
need to know such information for the benefit of Employer.

8.  Ownership  of Insurance Accounts,  Work Product,  Etc.

     Employee expressly agrees that: (a) any and all insurance business produced
or  transacted  by Employee  or  referred  to  Employee  by any entity;  (b) any
proposal which Employee may develop for the production,  transaction or referral
of any insurance business; and/or (c) any other work product produced by or work
performed by Employee while Employee is employed by Employer is and shall be the
permanent and exclusive property of Employer. The aforesaid

                                       8
<PAGE>

business,  proposals, work product and/or work shall be for Employer's exclusive
benefit  to use and  exploit,  or to decline to use or  exploit,  during  and/or
following the period of Employee's  services without:  (a) any claim or right by
Employee  to further  remuneration,  and/or  (b) any claim or right by  Employee
against Employer and/or any other entity.

9. Protection of Confidential Information

     9.1 Employee will not at any time, during or after the period of Employee's
employment,  divulge  or  appropriate  to  Employee's  own  use or to the use of
others,  any  secret,  confidential  or  proprietary  information  or  knowledge
regarding the Employer or its clients,  either  obtained by Employee or of which
Employee  becomes aware in any manner  whatsoever  during or in connection  with
Employee's services.

     9.2 Employee  acknowledges that the following constitute business assets of
the Employer which are confidential:  (a) the Employer's list of prior,  current
or proposed clients or accounts;  (b) information  regarding actual or potential
providers  of  insurance  or  reinsurance  to the clients of the  Employer;  (c)
information  regarding  actual or potential  wholesale or specialty  brokers who
assist or may assist in finding  insurance  or  reinsurance  for  clients of the
Employer;  and/or (d)  information  regarding the  structure  and  operations of
programs  of  insurance  for groups of  insureds.

10.  Protection  of Employer  Property All  records,  files,  manuals,  lists of
customers,  blanks, forms, supplies,  computer programs,  and/or other materials
furnished  to Employee by Employer  used by Employee on  Employer's  behalf,  or
generated or obtained by Employee  during the course of  Employee's  employment,
shall be and remain,  the property of Employer.  Employee  further  acknowledges
that this property is confidential  and is not readily  accessible to Employer's
competitors.   Upon   termination  of  employment   hereunder,   Employee  shall
immediately  deliver  to  Employer  or its  authorized  representative  all such
property, including all copies, remaining in Employee's possession or control.

11. Restrictive Covenant

     In view of the  personal  identification  of  customers  and  sources  with
brokerage employees,  the potential exists for appropriation by employees of the
benefits of the relationships developed with such customers and sources, despite
Employer's  investment in the development of those  relationships on its behalf.
Accordingly,  since Employer would suffer  irreparable  harm if Employee  should
leave the employment of the brokerage and solicit  customers,  establish or work
on competing insurance programs,  or solicit any other employee to terminate its
relationship  with Employer,  it is reasonable to protect  Employer against such
activities  for the limited  period of time necessary for Employer to establish,
renew and/or restore its business relationship with the foregoing individual and
commercial customers and sources.

     For the above reasons,  in the event that Employee ceases to be an employee
of Employer for any reason ("Withdrawal from the Company"), Employee may conduct
business in

                                       9
<PAGE>

competition  with  Employer.  However,  for the two (2) year period  immediately
following the Withdrawal from the Company, Employee may not:

     (i)  directly or indirectly  solicit,  join,  provide  services to, advise,
          give  assistance  to, or contact any person or entity who was a client
          of  Employer,  or any  employee of such  client,  with  respect to the
          provision of insurance or insurance-related services;

     (ii) accept  compensation  in any form from any  person or entity who was a
          client of Employer,  or any  employee of such client,  with respect to
          the provision of insurance or insurance-related services;

     (iii)solicit any persons or entities  who, to the  knowledge  of  Employee,
          are or were  identified  through leads  developed  while  Employee was
          employed by Employer;

     (iv) solicit professional  relationships introduced to such Employee by any
          employee  or client of  Employer  while  Employee  was an  employee of
          Employer;

     (v)  offer  employment  to or employ any  person  who is then,  or had been
          within 6 months of such offer, an employee of Employer; or

     (vi) solicit any employee of Employer to terminate his or her employment.

Employee   acknowledges   that  a  material  part  of  his  current  and  future
compensation,  including  salary increases  and/or bonuses  (including,  without
limitation,  Employee's  participation  in Employer's  Annual Incentive Plan) is
being paid in  consideration  for Employee's  promises to honor the  restrictive
covenants and confidentiality aspects of this Employment Agreement. The Employee
agrees that the restrictive  covenants and confidentiality  provisions set forth
in this  Employment  Agreement are both  reasonable and necessary to protect the
vital  interests  of  Employer  and to  promote an open and  productive  working
relationship between Employer and Employee, from which Employee will benefit.

12.  Advise of Counsel

Employee acknowledges that, in connection with this Agreement, Employee has been
advised to seek the advise of counsel and is now so advised.

13.  Covenant to  Cooperate  Employee  agrees to furnish  such  information  and
proper  assistance to Employer during and/or  following the period of Employee's
services as may  reasonably  be required  by  Employer  in  connection  with any
litigation,  regulatory or  administrative  investigation or proceeding in which
the Employer is or may become a party.

     14.3  Applicability of Agreement This Agreement shall apply with respect to
Employee's services on behalf of Employer and its affiliates.

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

     14.5 Paragraph Heading The headings of Paragraphs of this Agreement are for
convenience  and  reference  only and  shall  not  affect  the  construction  or
interpretation of any of the provisions hereof

the parties

                                       11
<PAGE>

that the  provisions  contained in this  Agreement  shall be  enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law. The invalidity and/or unenforceability in whole
or in part of any  provision  of this  Agreement  shall not  render  invalid  or
unenforceable  any other provision of this Agreement,  which instead will remain
in full force and effect.

parties  concerning its subject matter,  superseding all prior  representations,
agreements,  and understandings  between the parties with respect to the subject

agreements  with respect to the subject  matter  hereof.  This  Agreement may be
changed only by a written instrument signed by both parties.

     14.8  Non-Assignability  of Agreement This Agreement may not be assigned by
Employee  without the prior  written  consent of  Employer,  and any  assignment
without such written consent shall be void and of no effect. Employer,  however,

force and effect between the Employer and the assignee.

     14.9  Waiver of Breach Not a Waiver of  Subsequent  Breaches  The waiver by
Employer  or Employee  of any breach of this  Agreement  shall not operate or be
construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

     14.10 Right to Injunctive Relief Employee  acknowledges that damages at law
will be an  insufficient  remedy  for  Employer  in the event of a breach by the
Employee  of  paragraphs  8, 9, 10 and 11 of this  Agreement.  Therefore,  it is
agreed that in the event of any such breach or threatened  breach,  the Employer
and/or its affiliates  shall be entitled,  in addition to any other remedies and
damages  available at law or in equity, to an injunction to restrain such breach
or  threatened  breach  thereof by Employee,  his  partners,  agents,  servants,
employers and/or employees, and any other person(s) acting for or with Employee.
Employee  agrees  to pay any and all  reasonable  attorney's  fees and  expenses
incurred by the  Employer  and/or its  Affiliates  in  enforcing  any  covenants
contained in paragraphs 8, 9, 10 and/or 11.

Any rights or  remedies  of either  party  pursuant  to the  provisions  of this
Agreement  shall be in addition  to, and not in  substitution  of, any rights or
remedies otherwise available to either party by law.

rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.
