COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE; INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; CONFIDENTIALITY; ENFORCEABILITY;
BREACH.

     (a)  Covenant Not To Compete. You acknowledge that you are expected to play
a very important role in the on-going development of the Company, that you will
have detailed knowledge of the Company's business and its plans for the future,
that you will have a fiduciary relationship with the Company, and you will be
receiving substantial compensation and other benefits under this Agreement.
During the Term of Employment, you shall not, directly or indirectly, advise,
manage, control, operate, be employed by or participate in the ownership,
management, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner with any
business which competes with any business of the Company. The decision of the
Board of Directors of the Company as to what constitutes a competing business
shall be final and binding upon you. For these purposes, your ownership of one
percent (1%) or less of any class of securities of a public company shall not be
considered to be competition with the Company. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, in the event that following the Term of
Employment, you directly or indirectly advise, manage, control, operate, become
employed by or participate in
<PAGE>

the ownership, management, operation or control of, or become connected in any
manner with any business which competes with any business of the Company, any
and all options granted to you hereunder shall terminate whether or not
exercisable.

     (b)  Intellectual Property. You agree that all ideas, inventions, trade
secrets, marketing plans and business plans developed by you during the Term of
Employment which relate directly or indirectly to the business of the Company,
including without limitation, any process, operation, product or improvement
which may be patentable or copyrightable, will be the property of the Company
and that you will at the Company's request and cost do whatever is necessary to
secure the rights thereto by patent, copyright or otherwise to the Company.

     (c)  Confidentiality. You agree that you will not divulge to anyone (other
than the Company or any persons employed or designated by the Company) any
knowledge or information of any type whatsoever of a confidential nature
relating to the business of the Company, including, without limitation, any and
all types of ideas, inventions, trade secrets, marketing plans, business plans,
and processes, operations, products or improvements which may be patentable or
copyrightable ("Confidential Information"). You further agree not to disclose,
publish or make use of any such Confidential Information without the prior
written consent of the Company. The term "Confidential Information" does not
include any information which (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is
generally available to and known to the public (other than as a result of
disclosure directly or indirectly by you), (ii) was available to you on a non-
confidential basis from a source other than the Company or its representatives
and advisors, provided that such source is not in breach of any obligations of
confidentiality to the Company, or (iii) has been independently acquired or
developed by you without violating any of your obligations pursuant to this
Agreement. The provisions set forth in this section shall survive the
termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

     (d)  Enforceability. You recognize and agree that the limitations placed on
you by this Section 4 are reasonable and are required for the protection of the
Company. You agree that if any such limitation is determined in arbitration or
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, you agree and submit
to the reduction of such limitation as the court or arbitrator(s) deem
reasonable. The limitations placed on you by this Section 4 are of the essence
of this Agreement and they shall be construed and enforced independently. The
existence of any claim or cause of action against the Company by you shall not
constitute a defense against the enforcement of these limitations on you.

     (e)  Breach. You acknowledge and agree that money damages would not
adequately compensate the Company in the event of breach by you of any provision
of this Section 4. Consequently, you agree that the Company shall be entitled,
without the necessity of proving actual damages, to obtain damages for any
breach of this Section 4, to enforce specific performance by you of any
provision of this Section 4, or to obtain temporary and permanent injunctive
relief from any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of the
provisions of this Section 4.

Section 5. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 5, the Company shall provide you with at least thirty (30) days notice
prior to the termination of your employment as provided in Section 2 if the
Company does not intend to renew this Agreement.

(b)  Death and Disability. Your employment under this Agreement shall terminate
upon (i) your death; or (ii) in the event you become disabled, at the option of
the Company, thirty (30) days after the date on which the Company shall have

twenty (120) days or more during any twelve (12) month period, to perform your
duties as Vice President of Strategic Alliances of the Company in a reasonably
satisfactory manner. In the event of any disagreement between you and the

pursuant to this subparagraph (b), the question of such permanent incapacity
shall be submitted for decision to an impartial and reputable physician in New
York County, New York (the "Deciding Doctor") chosen by mutual agreement of the
Company and you or, failing such agreement, the Deciding Doctor shall be chosen
by two physicians from New York County, New York (one of whom shall be selected
by the Company and the other by you). The decision of the Deciding Doctor
regarding your capacity or incapacity shall be final and binding on the Company
and you. You shall submit to any medical examinations reasonably necessary to
enable the Deciding Doctor to make a decision regarding your capacity or
incapacity. If your employment is terminated under this Section 5(b), all

employment for "cause"; provided, however, the Company shall have given you
written notice specifying in reasonable detail the reason therefor, and ten (10)
days after receipt of such notice in which to cure such "cause", if capable of
cure. For the purposes of this Agreement, an event or occurrence constituting
"cause" shall mean knowingly or recklessly causing material injury to the
Company; willful misconduct in the performance of, or a willful failure to
perform, your duties; commission of dishonest or fraudulent conduct whether or
not in connection with your employment, or unlawful behavior involving moral
turpitude whether or not in connection with your employment; or breach or
violation of this Agreement. If your employment is terminated under this Section
5(c), all compensation and rights to benefits from the Company shall cease on
the date of termination (other than as may have already accrued as of the date
of termination or as expressly provided in plans in which you participated at
the date of termination); provided,
<PAGE>

however, that the restrictions on your activities contained in Section 4 hereof
shall continue in effect as provided therein.
