                                    ESCROW AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT dated as of
                              January 19, 2000, among OPUS360 CORPORATION, a
                              Delaware Corporation ("Parent"), GEORGE CONSTABLE,
                              III, individually and in his capacity as the
                              Sellers' Representative (the "Sellers'
                              Representative"), SUNTRUST BANK, a Georgia banking
                              corporation (the "Escrow Agent"), and the other
                              parties named on the signature page hereto.

            This Escrow and Pledge Agreement is being executed in accordance
with Section 2.4 of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 19,
2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), among Parent, Ithority Corporation, a California
corporation ("Ithority"), certain stockholders of Ithority and the other parties
thereto. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

            In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and in the
Merger Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

      Section 1. Appointment of Escrow Agent.

            The Escrow Agent is hereby appointed to act as escrow agent
hereunder, and the Escrow Agent agrees to act as such.

      Section 2. Delivery of Merger Share Reserved Shares.

            On the date hereof, Parent is delivering to the Escrow Agent
certificate(s) representing the Merger Share Reserved Shares, and the Escrow
Agent is accepting such property for deposit in escrow pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement.

      Section 3. Pledge.

            (a) As general and continuing collateral security for the payment
and performance by the Indemnifying Sellers of all of their Secured Obligations
(as defined below), the Indemnifying Sellers hereby pledge, hypothecate, assign,
transfer, set over and deliver unto Parent, and grant to Parent a security
interest in, all of their respective right, title and interest in and to the
Merger Share Reserved Shares, any shares of Parent capital stock that have been
derived from or issued in respect of such Merger Share Reserved Shares
(collectively, the "Pledged Securities") and any cash or additional securities
or other property at any time and from time to time receivable or otherwise
distributable in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of, the Pledged
Securities and any and all products and proceeds therefrom, together with and
all other rights, titles, interests, powers, privileges and preferences
pertaining to said property (the "Pledged Collateral").

            (b) The security interest created hereby is granted to Parent, to
secure the prompt performance and payment in full of the following
(collectively, the "Secured Obligations"): (i) all obligations of the
Indemnifying Sellers under the Merger Agreement, (ii) expenses
<PAGE>

incurred by Parent or Parent's counsel in connection with the realization of the
security provided under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any
reasonable costs or expenses of any proceedings to which this Agreement may give
rise, and reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of its counsel and of
any experts or agents, and its fully allocated internal costs, that Parent may
incur in connection with (A) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of
Parent under this Agreement and (B) damages arising out of the failure of any
Indemnifying Seller to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

            (c) Each Indemnifying Seller hereby represents and warrants to
Parent as follows:

                  (i) Such Seller, is, and will at all times continue to be, the
      legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral. No financing
      statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction which
      names such Indemnifying Seller as debtor or covers any of the Pledged
      Collateral, or any other notice filed in the public records indicating the
      existence of a Lien thereon, has been filed and is still effective in any
      state or other jurisdiction, other than Uniform Commercial Code financing
      statements filed in favor of Parent, and such Indemnifying Seller has not
      signed any such financing statement or notice or any security agreement
      authorizing the filing of any such financing statement or notice, other
      than Uniform Commercial Code financing statements filed in favor of
      Parent.

                  (ii) The social security number, or the Internal Revenue
      Service taxpayer identification number, as applicable, of such
      Indemnifying Seller is set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

                  (iii) Such Indemnifying Seller (A) has the power and authority
      to pledge the Pledged Collateral in the manner provided herein or as
      contemplated hereby and (B) will defend his title thereto or interest
      therein against any and all Liens of all Persons (other than the Liens
      created by this Agreement).

                  (iv) No consent or approval of any Governmental Entity or any
      securities exchange was or is necessary to the validity of the pledge
      effected hereby.

            (d) Each Indemnifying Seller hereby unconditionally covenants and
agrees as follows:

                  (i) Such Indemnifying Seller will not create, assume, incur or
      permit or suffer to exist or to be created, assumed or incurred, any Lien
      on any of the Pledged Collateral (or any interest therein) and will not,
      sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion
      of the Pledged Collateral (or any interest therein).

                  (ii) Until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with
      its terms, any certificates, instruments or other documents constituting
      Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent and shall be
      subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Indemnifying
      Sellers shall take such further actions to vest Parent in the security
      interest provided hereunder with respect to such additional Pledged
      Collateral.

                                       2
<PAGE>

            (e) Each Indemnifying Seller shall, at Parent's cost and expense,
take all actions that may be necessary or desirable in Parent's sole discretion,
so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and
priority of Parent's security interest in the Pledged Collateral, or to enable
Parent to exercise or enforce its rights hereunder, including without limitation
(i) delivering to Parent, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of
assignment as Parent may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments,
letters of credit and all other advices of guaranty and documents evidencing or
forming a part of the Pledged Collateral and (ii) executing and delivering
financing statements, pledges, designations, notices and assignments, in each
case in form and substance satisfactory to Parent, relating to the creation,
validity, perfection, priority or continuation of the security interest granted
hereunder. Each Indemnifying Seller agrees to take, and authorizes Parent to
take on such Seller's behalf, any or all of the following actions with respect
to any Pledged Collateral as Parent shall deem necessary to perfect the security
interest and pledge created hereby or to enable Parent to enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder: (A) to register in the name of Parent any Pledged Collateral
in certificated or uncertificated form; (B) to endorse in the name of Parent any
Pledged Collateral issued in certificated form; and (C) by book entry or
otherwise, identify as belonging to Parent a quantity of securities that
constitutes all or part of the Pledged Collateral. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each Indemnifying Seller agrees that Pledged Collateral which is not
in certificated form or is otherwise in book-entry form shall be held for the
account of Parent. Each Indemnifying Seller hereby authorizes Parent to execute
and file in all necessary and appropriate jurisdictions (as determined by
Parent) one or more financing or continuation statements (or any other document
or instrument referred to in the immediately preceding clause (B)) in the name
of such Indemnifying Seller and to sign such Seller's name thereto. Each
Indemnifying Seller authorizes Parent to file any such financing statement,
document or instrument without the signature of such Indemnifying Seller to the
extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, a
carbon, photographic, xerographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any
financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement. Any property
comprising part of the Pledged Collateral required to be delivered to Parent
pursuant to this Agreement shall be accompanied by proper instruments of
assignment duly executed by such Indemnifying Seller and by such other
instruments or documents as Parent may reasonably request.

            (f) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in
the Pledged Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until it
terminates in accordance with its terms. Each Indemnifying Seller and Parent
hereby agree that the security interest in the Pledged Collateral created by
this Section 3 shall not terminate and shall continue and remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding the transfer to Parent of a portion of the Pledged
Collateral.

            (g) All rights of Parent hereunder, the grant of a security interest
in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of the Indemnifying Sellers
hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of any lack of
validity or enforceability of the Merger Agreement or any other Related
Document, or instrument relating to any of the foregoing.

      Section 4. Rights to Pledged Collateral.

            (a) The Pledged Collateral shall be held for the exclusive benefit
of Parent and the Indemnifying Sellers and their respective successors, assigns,
heirs, administrators and estates,

                                       3
<PAGE>

and no other Person shall have any right, title or interest therein. Any claim
of any Person to the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, shall be subject
and subordinate to the prior right thereto of Parent and Sellers.

            (b) So long as no Claim (as hereinafter defined) shall have been
asserted by Parent (a "Demand"), the Sellers, after giving 2 days prior written
notice to Parent, shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or
consensual rights and powers accruing to an owner of the Pledged Collateral or
any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement or any agreement giving rise to or otherwise relating to any
of the Secured Obligations; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Sellers
shall not exercise, or refrain from exercising, any such right or power if any
such action could have an adverse effect on the value of such Pledged Collateral
in the sole judgment of Parent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of a Demand, all rights of the Indemnifying Sellers to exercise the voting
and/or consensual rights and powers which the Indemnifying Sellers are entitled
to exercise pursuant to this Section 4 shall cease, and all such rights
thereupon shall become immediately vested in Parent, which shall have, to the
extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise
such voting and/or consensual rights and powers which the Indemnifying Sellers
shall otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 4. During the
term of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Sellers shall not be entitled to retain
in their possession or control or use any cash dividends paid on the Pledged
Collateral, including any stock and/or liquidating dividends, other
distributions in property, return of capital or other distributions made on or
in respect of Pledged Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision,
combination or reclassification of outstanding securities which are pledged
hereunder or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or
as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of
assets or on the liquidation, whether voluntary or involuntary, of Parent, or
otherwise, such property being Pledged Collateral hereunder. If any Indemnifying
Seller shall receive any dividends or other property which he is not entitled to
receive under this Agreement, such Indemnifying Seller shall hold the same in
trust for Parent, without commingling the same with other funds or property of
or held by such Seller, and shall promptly deliver the same to the Escrow Agent
upon receipt by him in the identical form received, together with any necessary
endorsements.

      Section 5. Claims.

            (a) In the event Parent asserts a claim for indemnification under
the Merger Agreement, Parent shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent and
the Sellers' Representative a written notice to such effect (a "Parent Claim
Notice"; and the claim being asserted in a Parent Claim Notice being hereinafter
referred to as a "Claim") setting forth the nature and details of such Claim and
the amount thereof (or if not ascertainable, a reasonable maximum amount
thereof), and the basis of the Sellers' liability therefor under the Merger
Agreement, and instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver, in accordance with
Section 6 below, that portion of the Pledged Collateral having a value equal to
the amount of the Claim (or, if the amount of the Claim shall be greater than
the aggregate value of the Pledged Collateral, the balance of the Pledged
Collateral) to Parent. Parent shall deliver to the Sellers' Representative a
copy of each Parent Claim Notice on or prior to the date of the delivery thereof
to the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent shall use reasonable efforts also to
deliver a copy thereof to the Sellers' Representative promptly after receipt
from the Parent (provided that the failure of the Escrow

                                       4
<PAGE>

Agent to make such delivery to the Sellers' Representative shall not affect the
obligation of the Escrow Agent to release Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section
6(a)(ii) below).

            (b) The Sellers' Representative may object to any Parent Claim
Notice by delivering to the Parent and the Escrow Agent, within 15 days after
receipt of the Parent Claim Notice, a written notice (an "Objection Notice")
stating that all or a portion of the amount specified in such Parent Claim
Notice should not be released to the Parent. The Sellers' Representative shall
deliver to the Parent a copy of each Objection Notice on or prior to the date of
the delivery thereof to the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent shall use
reasonable efforts also to deliver a copy thereof to the Parent promptly after
receipt from the Sellers' Representative. The Sellers' Representative and Parent
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute set forth in
any Objection Notice.

      Section 6. Release of Pledged Collateral.

            (a) The Escrow Agent shall release the Pledged Collateral as
follows:

                  (i) Promptly upon receipt of joint written instructions,
      substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, signed by Parent and the
      Sellers' Representative ("Joint Instructions") in accordance with and to
      the Persons set forth in such Joint Instructions;

                  (ii) On the 16th day following the receipt of any Parent Claim
      Notice which is received by the Escrow Agent prior to January __, 2001 and
      which is not the subject of an Objection Notice, to the Parent in
      accordance with the Parent Claim Notice;

                  (iii) On January __, 2001, the balance of the Pledged
      Collateral, if any, which is not subject to an Unresolved Claim (as
      defined below) (if any), in accordance with and to the Persons set forth
      in written instructions provided by the Sellers' Representative.

As used herein, "Unresolved Claim" means the amount of a claim stated in a
Parent Claim Notice or, following delivery of an Objection Notice, the disputed
portion thereof, which amount shall be deemed outstanding from the date such
Parent Claim Notice or Objection Notice, as applicable, is given until the date
such claim is resolved in accordance with the terms of Section 6(b) below.

            (b) In the event that the Escrow Agent receives an Objection Notice
from the Sellers' Representative, that portion of the Pledged Collateral having
a value equal to the Unresolved Claim (as set forth in such Objection Notice)
shall be held by the Escrow Agent until the occurrence of one of the following
events:

                  (i) Receipt by the Escrow Agent of Joint Instructions
      instructing the Escrow Agent to release the disputed portion of the
      Pledged Collateral to such party or parties and in such amount or amounts
      as is specified in such Joint Instructions; or

                  (ii) Receipt by the Escrow Agent of a written notice (a
      "Certified Judgment Notice"), substantially in the form of Exhibit B
      hereto, from Parent or the Sellers' Representative certifying that a
      final, nonappealable court judgment or settlement with

                                       5
<PAGE>

      respect to the claim covered by the Parent Claim Notice is attached to
      such Certified Judgment Notice, in which case the Escrow Agent shall
      distribute the disputed portion of the Pledged Collateral in accordance
      with such judgment on the 10th day following the receipt of any Certified
      Judgment Notice, unless prior to such date the Escrow Agent receives a
      written notice (an "Appeal Notice"), substantially in the form of Exhibit
      C hereto, from the party not submitting such Certified Judgment Notice,
      stating that the judgment has or can and will be appealed. A party
      delivering a Certified Judgment Notice or an Appeal Notice shall deliver
      to the other party hereto a copy thereof on or prior to the date of
      delivery thereof to the Escrow Agent, and the Escrow Agent shall use
      reasonable efforts also to deliver a copy of each Certified Judgment
      Notice or Appeal Notice to the party which did not deliver the same
      promptly after the Escrow Agent's receipt thereof (provided that the
      failure of the Escrow Agent to make such delivery shall not affect the
      obligation of the Escrow Agent to release funds pursuant to this Section
      6(b)). If the judgment is appealed, no release of the disputed portion of
      the Escrow Fund will be made until delivery of a subsequent Certified
      Judgment Notice to the Escrow Agent, which notice is not the subject of a
      subsequent Appeal Notice delivered in accordance with this Section
      6(b)(ii).

            (c) Any release of the Pledged Collateral to Parent pursuant to this
Section 6 shall be accompanied by a stock power in respect of all securities to
be forfeited, duly endorsed for transfer to Parent.

      Section 7. Termination.

            This Agreement shall terminate upon the release by the Escrow Agent
of all of the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

      Section 8. Escrow Agent.

            (a) Obligations.

                  (i) The sole obligations of the Escrow Agent are those
      specifically provided in this Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall have no
      liability under, or duty to inquire into, the terms and provisions of any
      agreement between the parties hereto, including but not limited to the
      Merger Agreement. The duties of the Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in
      nature and the Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability whatsoever,
      except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

                  (ii) The Escrow Agent shall not have any responsibility for
      the genuineness or validity of any document or other item deposited with
      it or of any signature thereon reasonably believed by the Escrow Agent to
      be signed by the proper parties and shall not have any liability for
      acting in accordance with any written instructions or certificates given
      to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it to be signed by the proper
      parties.

            (b) Resignation and Removal. The Escrow Agent may resign and be
discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving at least 30 days
notice of such resignation to Parent and the Sellers' Representative, specifying
a date upon which such resignation shall take effect; provided, however, that
the Escrow Agent shall continue to serve until its successor

                                       6
<PAGE>

accepts the Pledged Collateral and assumes all responsibilities as escrow agent
hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice, a successor Escrow Agent shall be
jointly appointed by Parent and the Sellers' Representative, such successor
escrow agent to become the Escrow Agent hereunder on the resignation date
specified in such notice. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor escrow
agent shall not have been delivered to the resigning Escrow Agent within 40 days
after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Escrow Agent may
tender into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction any
part or all of the Pledged Collateral and thereafter be relieved of its duties
and obligations hereunder. Parent and the Sellers' Representative may at any
time substitute a new Escrow Agent by giving 10 days written notice thereof to
the existing Escrow Agent and paying all fees and expenses of such Escrow Agent
incurred to the date of the substitution.

            (c) Indemnification. The Indemnifying Sellers shall hold the Escrow
Agent harmless from, and shall indemnify the Escrow Agent against, any loss,
liability, expense (including attorney's fees and expenses), claim or demand (a
"Loss") arising out of or in connection with the performance of its obligations
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or which are attributable to
any act or omission of the Indemnifying Sellers or the Sellers' Representative,
except for any of the foregoing arising out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Escrow Agent. Parent shall hold the Escrow Agent harmless
from, and indemnify the Escrow Agent against, any Loss arising out of or in
connection with the performance of its obligations in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and which are attributable to any act or omission
of Parent or any affiliate of Parent, except for any of the foregoing arising
out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. Parent
and the Indemnifying Sellers shall hold the Escrow Agent harmless from, and
indemnify (with one-half to be borne by Parent and one-half to be borne by the
Sellers) the Escrow Agent against, any Loss arising out of or in connection with
the performance of its obligations in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and which are not attributable to any act or omission of Parent, any
of the Indemnifying Sellers or the Sellers' Representative, except for any of
the foregoing arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Escrow Agent. The foregoing indemnities in this paragraph shall survive the
resignation or substitution of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this
Agreement.

            (d) Fees and Expenses of Escrow Agent. For its services hereunder,
the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to a fee of $2,500 per annum, pro rated for
any shorter period for which the Escrow Agent shall act hereunder, payable in
advance. No increase in the rate of any fee charged by the Escrow Agent shall be
valid hereunder unless previously approved in writing by Parent. Such fees shall
be paid by Parent. In addition, the Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances (including, but
not limited to postage, courier, overnight mail insurance, money wire transfer,
long distance telephone charges, facsimile, stationery and travel expenses), and
including reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable accounting fees, incurred by
the Escrow Agent not in the ordinary course of business. The amount of such
reimbursement shall be paid by Parent. These fees described in this paragraph
(d) do not include extraordinary services which will be priced according to the
required time and scope of duties and shall be previously approved in writing by
Parent. The fees described in this paragraph (d) shall be deemed earned in full
upon receipt by the Escrow Agent, and no portion shall be refundable for any
reason, including without limitation, termination of the Agreement.

                                       7
<PAGE>

            (e) Reliance on Counsel. The Escrow Agent may from time to time
consult with legal counsel of its own choosing in the event of any disagreement,
controversy, question or doubt as to the construction of any of the provisions
hereof or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be
fully protected in acting in good faith in accordance with the opinion or
instructions of such counsel. Any such fees and expenses of such legal counsel
shall be considered part of the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent described
herein.

      Section 9. Investments.

            (a) Initially the Escrow Agent will invest all cash included in the
Pledged Collateral in commercial paper with maturities not to exceed 90 days
given on the date of such investment a credit rating of at least P-1 by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. or A-1 by the Standard & Poor's Corporation. The Escrow
Agent will invest the cash included in the Pledged Collateral in such other
Permitted Investments as directed by Parent from time to time pursuant to
written instructions signed by Parent and referencing the desired Permitted

other agreements and documents referenced herein contain the entire agreement

employment agreement, dated January 21, 2000 (the "Existing Employment
Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to employ the Employee as of
the Start Date (as defined below) and to grant to the Employee an option to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock. The parties hereto desire to
amend and restate the Existing Employment Agreement to provide for, among other
things, (i) the amendment of the number of Options (as defined below) granted to
the Employee and (ii) the modification and amendment of certain other terms and
conditions of the Existing Employment Agreement. The Company and the Employee
desire and have agreed to amend and restate the Existing Employment Agreement in
its entirety as and pursuant to this Agreement.

            WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Employee as the President
and Chief Operating Officer of the Company; and

            WHEREAS, the Employee desires to accept such employment by the
Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants contained herein
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Employee hereby agree as follows:

      Section 1. Employment.

            The Company hereby employs the Employee, and the Employee hereby
accepts employment by the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth.

      Section 2. Term of Employment.

            The Employee's employment hereunder shall be for the period
commencing on February 1, 2000 (the "Start Date") and ending on the day
immediately prior to the third anniversary of the Start Date (the "Base Term");
<PAGE>

provided, however, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 6, 7, 8 or 9 hereof, the Base Term shall be automatically renewed and
extended for successive one-year terms without further act of the parties (each,
a "Renewal Term" and together with the Base Term, collectively, the "Employment
Period"), unless either the Company or the Employee gives the other party hereto
at least 45 days prior written notice before the end of the Employment Period of
such party's intent not to renew this Agreement (each, a "Right Not To Extend").

      Section 3. Duties.

            The Employee shall be employed as the President and Chief Operating
Officer of the Company or in such other position as the Company and the Employee
shall agree in writing. The Employee shall report to the Chairman of the Board
of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). The Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, pursuant to the authority granted to the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company in Section 7(iii) of the Stockholders' Agreement, dated as of December
24, 1998, as amended and extended, shall use his best efforts to appoint the
Employee as a Tranche 3 Director of the Company prior to a Qualified Offering
(as such term is defined in the Company's Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation). The Employee shall perform such duties and
services as are appropriate and commensurate with the Employee's position as
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and as are otherwise
consistent in stature and prestige with the position of President and Chief
Operating Officer of a corporation with similar operations as the Company, and
shall perform such additional duties and services which are similarly consistent
with such position as may reasonably be assigned to him from time to time by the
Board. The Employee shall be based in the New York City metropolitan area.

Section 4. Time to be Devoted to Employment.

            (a) Except for three weeks vacation during each 12-month period
worked (in addition to public holidays), absences due to temporary illness and
time spent as a director in respect of a directorship held by the Employee on or
prior to the Start Date, the Employee shall devote substantially all of his
business time, attention and energies to the business and affairs of the Company
during the Employment Period.

            (b) During the Employment Period, the Employee shall not engage in
any other business activity which conflicts with the duties of the Employee
hereunder, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other
pecuniary advantage; provided, however, to the extent not in conflict with this
Section 4, the

                                       2
<PAGE>

Employee shall not be prohibited from (i) serving as an officer, director,
trustee or otherwise participating in purely educational, welfare, social,
charitable, religious and civic organizations, or (ii) managing personal and
family investments, in each case to the extent such activities (A) do not
interfere or conflict in any material respect with the performance of his duties
and responsibilities hereunder and (B) are conducted in accordance with the
limitations of Section 11. Except with the prior written approval of the Board
(excluding the Employee if he should be a member of the Board at the time of
such determination), which the Board may grant or withhold in its sole and
absolute discretion, the Employee, during the Employment Period, will not serve
on the board of directors or similar body of any business entity other than the
Company or any subsidiary thereof (other than with respect to any directorship
held by the Employee on or prior to the Start Date, which directorships, if any,
have been disclosed in writing by the Employee to the Company).

      Section 5. Compensation; Reimbursement.

            (a) During the Employment Period, the Company (or at the Company's
option, any subsidiary or affiliate thereof) shall pay to the Employee an annual
salary (the "Base Salary") of not less than $250,000, payable semi-monthly. Such
Base Salary will be reviewed at least annually and may be increased by the Board
or the Board's designee (excluding the Employee if he should be a member of the
Board at the time of such determination) in its sole discretion. Effective as of
any such increase, the Base Salary as so increased shall be considered the new
Base Salary for all purposes of this Agreement and may not thereafter be
reduced.

            (b) The Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus of no
less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) during each calendar year of
the Employment Period (pro-rated for partial calendar years of employment by the
Company for calendar years after 2000) based upon his achievement of performance
criteria mutually agreed upon by the Employee and the Company. The performance
criteria for the first year of the Employment Period shall be satisfied in the
event that the Company achieves gross revenue of $15 million for calendar year
2000. With respect to subsequent calendar years, it is expected that the
performance criteria will be based on increasing gross revenue targets to be
agreed upon within thirty (30) days after each anniversary of this Employment
Agreement and that such targets shall be consistent with and no higher than the
performance targets established for the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
for such calendar year.

            (c) During the Employment Period and to the extent available to

participate in all of the Company's benefit plans, pension and retirement plans,
life insurance, hospitalization and surgical and major medical coverages, sick
leave, vacation and holiday policies, long-term disability coverage and such
other fringe benefits enjoyed by other senior executive officers of the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5(c), at no
time during the Employment Period shall the long-term disability coverage and
life insurance benefits that the Company provides to the Employee be reduced to
a level below that being provided to the Employee as of the Start Date.

            (d) The Company shall reimburse the Employee, in accordance with the
practice from time to time for other senior executive officers of the Company,
for all reasonable and necessary traveling expenses, disbursements and other
reasonable and necessary incidental expenses incurred by him for or on behalf of
the Company in the performance of his duties hereunder upon presentation by the
Employee to the Company of appropriate vouchers.

            (e) The Company shall grant the Employee, on the date of grant, (i)
an option (the "ISO") to purchase up to 21,945 shares (as adjusted pursuant to
the Stock Option Agreements (as defined below)) of common stock of the Company
(the "Common Stock") pursuant to the terms and conditions of a written option
agreement between the Company and the Employee, the form of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the "ISO Agreement"), which shall contain all of the terms
and conditions of the ISO, and (ii) an option (the "NSO" and together with the
ISO, "Options") to purchase up to 983,055 shares (as adjusted pursuant to the
Stock Option Agreements) of Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of
a written option agreement between the Company and the Employee, the form of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "NSO Agreement" and together with the
ISO Agreement, the "Stock Option Agreements"), which shall contain all of the
terms and conditions of the NSO. 200,000 of Options shall vest on the date of
grant and the remaining 805,000 of Options shall vest over three years, 6/36 of
such amount shall vest on the six month anniversary of the date of grant and
1/36 of such amount shall vest each month thereafter. The Company shall at least
once each year commencing in 2001 consider the Employee for future annual or
other grants of stock options and other equity awards on at least the same basis
as such options and equity awards are granted to other senior executive
officers.

                                       4

            (f) The Employee authorizes the Company to deduct from any amounts
payable to him hereunder such sums as may be required to be deducted or withheld
under the provisions of any federal, state or local law or regulation now in
effect or hereafter put into effect during the term of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, social security and income withholding taxes.

      Section 6. Involuntary Termination.

            (a) If the Employee is incapacitated or disabled by accident,
sickness or other cause so as to render him mentally or physically incapable of
performing the services required to be performed by him under this Agreement for
a period of 120 consecutive days or longer, or 150 days or longer during any 200
day period (such condition being herein referred to as a "Disability"), prior to
the Employee resuming the performance of his duties as contemplated herein, the
Company may terminate the employment of the Employee under this Agreement (an
"Involuntary Termination"). Until the Company or the Employee shall have
terminated the Employee's employment hereunder, the Employee shall be entitled
to receive his compensation and other benefits as set forth in this Agreement
notwithstanding any such Disability.

            (b) Any determination as to whether the Employee is subject to a
physical or mental incapacity shall first be made by the Board (excluding the
Employee if he should be a member of the Board at the time of such
determination) in its good faith judgment; provided, however, if any such
determination is disputed by the Employee, the matter shall be referred to a
licensed physician practicing within New York, New York or a 50-mile radius
thereof and selected by the Board and the Employee, and the determination of
Disability made by such physician shall be final and binding on both the
Employee and the Company. The Employee represents and warrants to the Company
that, to the best of his knowledge, he does not have a Disability as of the date
hereof.

            (c) If the Employee dies during the Employment Period, his
employment hereunder shall be deemed to cease as of the date of his death, and
the termination of his employment occasioned thereby shall be deemed an
Involuntary Termination.

      Section 7. Termination for Cause or Without Cause.

Prior to, and in connection with, any Termination for Cause, (1) the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company or his designee shall give written notice to
the Employee of the specific circumstances which may constitute the basis for a
Termination for Cause, (2) the Employee shall be provided with ten (10) days to
cure the basis for a Termination with Cause (but only if such basis is capable
of cure), and (3) the Board shall have determined, in its sole discretion (so
long as not arbitrary or capricious), by a vote of not less three-fourths (3/4)
of the Board (excluding the Employee if he should be a member of the Board at
the time of such determination) at a meeting called and held for such purpose,
after reasonable notice to the Employee and an opportunity for the Employee,
together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board, that the Company has
Cause to terminate the Employee's employment. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Cause" shall be limited to:

                  (i) the gross negligence or willful refusal or failure by the
      Employee to attempt to substantially perform the duties described in

      similar incapacity or disability);

                  (ii) the Employee's conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere
      to, misappropriation of funds, properties or assets of the Company, or any
      other act of fraud, theft or financial dishonesty involving the Company or
      its subsidiaries, or slander or libel concerning the Company or a material
      tort relating to his office or employment with the Company that has a
      material adverse effect on the Company;

                  (iii) the material breach by the Employee of the provisions of
      this Agreement including, without limitation, the covenants set forth in
      Sections 11 and 12 hereof;

                  (iv) the Employee's conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere
      to, a crime constituting a felony (other than a traffic violation) or any
      criminal act involving moral turpitude; or

                  (v) the Employee's inability to perform his duties as a result
      of alcohol or drug abuse, chronic alcoholism or drug addiction.

                                       6

            (b) The Company may terminate the Employee's employment hereunder at
any time during the Employment Period without "Cause" by providing written
notice of such termination to the Employee (a "Termination Without Cause") at
least five days prior to such Termination Without Cause or pay in lieu of such
notice.

      Section 8. Termination for Poor or Incompetent Performance.

            The Company may not terminate the Employee's employment hereunder at
any time during the first year of the Base Term for the Employee's poor or
incompetent performance of his duties or responsibilities hereunder. Thereafter,
the Company may terminate the Employee's employment hereunder at any time for
poor or incompetent performance ("Termination for Poor or Incompetent
Performance"); provided that the Board shall have determined, in its sole
discretion (so long as not arbitrary or capricious), by a vote of not less
three-fourths (3/4) of the Board (excluding the Employee if he should be a
member of the Board at the time of such determination) at a meeting called and
held for such purpose, after reasonable notice to the Employee and an
opportunity for the Employee, together with his counsel, to be heard before the
Board, that the Employee's performance hereunder has been poor or incompetent.

      Section 9.  Termination for Good Reason or by Resignation.

            (a) The Employee may terminate his employment hereunder at any time
during the Employment Period for "Good Reason."

            (b) For purposes of this Agreement:

                  (i) "Good Reason" means (A) a reduction in the title or any
      material reduction in the authority, duties, responsibilities,
      compensation, benefits or reporting line of the Employee from those on the
      Start Date, where such reduction or material reduction is not cured within
      10 days after written notice thereof by the Employee to the Company, (B) a
      Change of Control, if (1) within one (1) year of such Change of Control
      the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Company for any
      reason, or (2) during the 30-day period commencing 6 months after a Change
      of Control the Employee terminates his employment for any or no reason,
      (C) a material breach

                                       7
<PAGE>

      by the Company of this Agreement, which breach is incurable or otherwise
      not cured within 10 days after written notice thereof by the Employee to
      the Company, (D) the failure of the Employee to be elected as a member of
      the Board or the removal of the Employee as a member of the Board (other
      than in connection with a Termination for Cause), (E) the failure of the
      Company to grant the Employee the Options pursuant to the Stock Option
      Agreements provided for in Section 5(e) of this Agreement, or (F) the
      failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any
      successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation
      or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of
      the Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the same
      extent that the Company is required to perform it, in each case without
      the prior written consent or waiver of the Employee.

                  (ii) the Employee's continued employment shall not constitute
      consent to or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstances
      constituting Good Reason hereunder.

                  (iii) "Change in Control" of the Company shall be deemed to
      have occurred if:

                        (A) there shall be consummated (x) any consolidation or
      merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or
      surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of Common Stock would be
      converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of
      the Company in which the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the
      merger own a majority of the common stock of the surviving corporation
      immediately after the merger, or (y) any sale, lease, exchange or other
      transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all,
      or substantially all, of the assets of the Company;

                                       8
<PAGE>

                        (B) the stockholders of the Company approve any plan or
      proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

                        (C) any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d)
      and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
      "Exchange Act")), other than Ari B. Horowitz, shall become the beneficial
      owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 50% or
      more of the outstanding Common Stock.

            (c) The Employee may terminate his employment hereunder at any time
during the Employment Period without "Good Reason" by providing written notice
of such termination to the Company (a "Resignation") at least five days prior to
such Resignation.

      Section 10. Effect of Termination of Employment.

            (a) Termination For Cause or by Resignation. Upon the termination of

      that if such termination occurs prior to the date of payment of any bonus
      for calendar year 2000, the bonus amount for such calculation shall be
      deemed to be $100,000 (such monthly payments, "Monthly Severance"), for a
      period of twelve (12) months;

                  (iii) to be credited with one additional year of employment

      Options and other options shall be exercisable by the Employee for their
      full remaining term; and

                  (iv) to receive all benefits pursuant to Section 5(c) above
      for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of the termination
      of the Employee's employment hereunder pursuant to the Company's Right Not
      To Extend; provided, however, that the Employee will not be entitled to
      any such benefits in the event that the Employee becomes employed by
      another entity during the period that such benefits would otherwise be
      due.

            (g) If the Employee's employment with the Company hereunder is
terminated pursuant to Sections 2, 6, 7, 8 or 9, the Employee shall not have the
obligation to mitigate his damages as a result of such termination.

            (h) Any obligations of the Company to provide payments and benefits
to the Employee under this Section 10 are expressly conditioned on the
Employee's compliance with Sections 11 and 12 of this Employment Agreement.

            (i) Except to the extent requested by the Board, upon the date of
termination, the Employee shall immediately resign all positions and
directorships with the Company and each subsidiary thereof.

      Section 11. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

                                       13
<PAGE>

            (a) In consideration of the compensation and other benefits to be
provided to the Employee hereunder, the Employee shall not, directly or
indirectly, for any reason whatsoever, during the Employment period and for a
period of one year following the Employee's Termination for any reason,
including without limitation Termination for Cause, Termination for Poor or
Incompetent Performance, Termination without Cause, Termination by Employee with
Good Reason, or Employee's Resignation:

                  (i) engage, become involved or acquire an interest in any
      Competitive Business (as hereinafter defined), whether such engagement,
      interest or involvement shall be as an employee, employer, manager,
      material investor, owner, consultant, lender, partner or other participant
      in any Competitive Business;

                  (ii) assist others in engaging in any Competitive Business in
      the manner described in the foregoing clause (i);

                  (iii) solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce,
      employees of, consultants to, or independent contractors of, the Company
      or its subsidiaries to terminate their employment, engagement or
      affiliation with the Company or in any way interfere with the relationship
      between the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any
      such employee of, consultant to, or independent contractor of the Company
      or any of its subsidiaries, on the other hand; or

                  (iv) knowingly employ or retain any such employee of,
      consultant to, or independent contractor of the Company or any of its
      subsidiaries during his or her employment, engagement or affiliation with
      the Company or any of its subsidiaries for a period of three months after
      the termination of such employee's, consultant's or independent
      contractor's employment, engagement or affiliation with the Company or any
      of its subsidiaries unless such retainer is not competitive, and does not
      interfere with, the simultaneous retention of such consultant or
      independent contractor by the Company.

                  (v) induce customers or vendors of the Company; or any
      independent knowledge workers or other information technology
      professionals, or end user organizations that have a business

                                       14
<PAGE>

      relationship with the Company, to alter or terminate their business
      relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided,
      however, that nothing contained in this Section 11 shall be deemed to
      prohibit the Employee from acquiring, directly or indirectly, solely as a
      passive investment, securities of any Competitive Business traded on any
      national securities exchange if the Employee is not a controlling person
      of, nor a member of a group which controls such person and does not,
      directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such
      person. As used herein, the term "Competitive Business" shall mean any
      business which competes with the Company in the business of primarily
      providing labor resource management services or products relating to
      information technology professionals by means of business-to-business
      electronic commerce or any business or activity that is substantially the
      same as any business or activity conducted by the Company at any time
      during the Employee's employment with the Company within the geographic
      area that the Company is engaged in such business or activity as of the
      Start Date or upon such date that the Employee ceases to receive salary or
      severance payments from the Company (including, without limitation, any
      subsidiary thereof).

            (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, any business activities engaged in by the Employee on behalf of, or in
connection with the Employee's employment by, or service as a director or
consultant to, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or in connection with
a directorship held by the Employee on or prior to the Start Date, shall not be
deemed to violate the provisions of this Agreement.

            (c) The Employee is aware that the services performed by him for the
Company are of a special, unique and intellectual character and understands that
the foregoing restrictions may limit his ability to earn a livelihood in a
Competitive Business, but he nevertheless believes that he has received and will
receive sufficient consideration and other benefits in connection with his
employment to clearly justify such restrictions which, in any event, the
Employee does not believe would prevent him from earning a living. Nothing
herein contained shall prohibit the Employee from engaging in a business that is
not a Competitive Business.

      Section 12. Non-Disclosure of Information.

                                       15
<PAGE>

            The Employee understands that he will have access to Confidential
Information relating to the Company and agrees that he will not, at any time
during or after the Employment Period, disclose to any person, firm, corporation
or other entity, except as required by law, any Confidential Information
concerning the business, clients or affairs of the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate thereof, or of any person which the Company or any of its subsidiaries
is under an obligation to keep secret or confidential, for any reason or purpose
whatsoever other than in furtherance of the Employee's good faith performance of
his duties as an employee of the Company, nor shall the Employee make use of any
of such Confidential Information for his own purpose or for the benefit of any
person, firm, corporation or other business entity except the Company or any
subsidiary or affiliate thereof. For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential
Information" shall include, without limitation, products or services, fees,
costs, pricing schedules, designs, analyses, drawings, photographs, reports,
computer software and hardware (including operating systems, applications and
program listings), customers and clients, customer and client lists, marketing
plans and related information, sales plans and related information, operating
policies and manuals, business plans, financial records or practice management
methods, inventions, devices, new developments, methods and processes,
technology or trade secrets, know-how or techniques, whether patentable or
unpatentatable and whether or not reduced to practice, and all similar and
related information in whatever form.

      Section 13. Company Right to Inventions and Business Opportunities.

            (a) The Employee shall promptly disclose, grant and assign to the
Company for its sole use and benefit any and all (i) discoveries, developments,
designs, improvements, inventions, formulae, processes, techniques, computer
programs, strategies, know-how and data, whether or not patentable or
registerable under patent, copyright, trademark or similar statutes, together
with all patent applications, patents, copyrights, copyright applications,
trademarks, trademark applications and any reissues thereof that may at any time
be granted for or upon any such inventions (the "Inventions") or (ii) business
opportunities relating to the actual or anticipated business of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries ("Business Opportunity"), presented to or learned by the
Employee during the period of the Employee's employment with the Company prior
to any termination of employment (whether or not during usual working hours).

            (b) The Employee shall promptly, without charge and at the expense
of the Company, at all times hereafter execute and deliver such applications,

                                       16
<PAGE>

assignments, descriptions and other instruments as may be reasonably necessary
or proper in the reasonable opinion of the Company to (i) vest title to and
enforce patents, copyrights, trademarks, improvements, technical information and
methods and other rights and protections relating to the Inventions and (ii) to
assign or otherwise establish such ownership of the Company in all rights in or
to such Business Opportunities, and to enable the Company to obtain and maintain
the entire right and title thereto in any and all countries; and

            (c) The Employee shall render to the Company at its expense
(including a reasonable payment for the time involved in case he is not then in
its employ) all such assistance as it may reasonably require at times and
locations agreed to by the Company and the Employer in the (i) prosecution of
applications for the Inventions, in the prosecution or defense or interferences
which may be declared involving the Inventions and in any litigation in which
the Company may be involved relating to the Inventions, each including, without
limitation, the execution of assignments, consents, powers of attorney,
applications and other instruments and the giving of testimony in support
thereof or (ii) confirmation and protection of such ownership of the Company in
all rights in or to any Business Opportunities, provided, however, that such
assistance shall not interfere with the Employee's employment or business
activities.

            (d) The Employee shall deliver to the Company at the termination of
the Employment Period, or upon the request of the Company, at any time, all
memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and other
documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential
Information, Inventions, Business Opportunities or the business of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, which he may then possess or have under his control,
regardless of the location or form of such material and, if requested by the
Company, shall provide the Company with written confirmation that all such
materials have been delivered to the Company.

      Section 14. Enforcement.

            It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the
provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible
under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which
enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this
Agreement shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision
shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be
invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply

                                       17
<PAGE>

only with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular
jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made; provided, however, that if any
one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be adjudicated
to be invalid or unenforceable because such provision is held to be excessively
broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, such provision
shall be deemed amended by limiting and reducing it so as to be valid and
enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the applicable laws of such
jurisdiction, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of such
provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

      Section 15. Excise Taxes.

            To the extent that any of the payments and benefits provided for in
this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Employee constitute "parachute
payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and, but for this Section 15, would be subject to
the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Employee's benefits
under this Agreement shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) to such lesser
amount as would result in no portion of severance payments being subject to
excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, which ever of the foregoing amounts,
taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and
excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by the Employee on an
after tax basis of the greatest amount of severance benefits provided pursuant
to this Agreement, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance
benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and
the Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this
Section shall be made in writing by an independent public accounting firm
selected by the Employee and reasonably acceptable to the Company other than
that used by the Company (the Accountants), whose determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Employee and the Company for all purposes. For
purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 15, the Accountants
may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes
and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the
application of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Employee
shall furnish to the Accountants such information as the Accountants may
reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 15 The
Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection
with any calculations contemplated by this Section 15.

      Section 16. Remedies; Survival.

            (a) The Employee acknowledges and understands that the provisions of
this Agreement are of a special and unique nature, the loss of which cannot be
accurately compensated for in damages by an action at law, and that the breach
of the provisions of this Agreement would cause the Company irreparable harm. In
the event of a breach by the Employee of the provisions of Section 11, 12, or 13
hereof, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining him from such
breach; provided, however, nothing herein contained shall be construed as
prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available for any
breach of this Agreement.

            (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, the provisions of Sections 9 through 18, including this Section 16,
shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement until, by
their terms, such provisions are no longer operative.

            (c) It is understood and agreed that the provisions of Sections 11,
12 and 13 of this Agreement are separate and distinct from any other agreement
between the parties hereto. Accordingly, in the event of a breach of such
provisions, the breaching party shall only be held responsible for damages
arising under such provisions and not for any damages which may be claimed to
arise under or with respect to any other agreement that is not separately
breached.

      Section 17. Notices.

            All notices, demands or other communications to be given or
delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made when (i) delivered

(charges prepaid) that same day and, in the latter case, with receipt

            (a) Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the Employee's personal or legal representatives,

PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS ENTERED INTO AND
FULLY PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK BY RESIDENTS OF THE STATE OF NEW

JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR FEDERAL COURT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN NEW YORK, (II) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY
HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH

SUCH PROCEEDINGS, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY.

                                       21
<PAGE>

            (c) Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement by the other party must be in writing and shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other
party.

            (d) Complete Agreement; Amendments; Prior Agreements. This Agreement
amends and restates the Existing Employment Agreement in its entirety and this
Agreement, together with the Stock Option Agreements and the other agreements
referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter contained herein and supersede all prior agreements or
understandings written or oral between the parties with respect thereto. The
parties hereto hereby forever release any and all rights under the Existing
Employment Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, canceled
or discharged except by written instrument executed by both parties hereto.

            (e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

for giving notice or taking action shall be automatically extended to the
immediately following Business Day.

for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.

            (h) Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                                       22
<PAGE>

            (i) Assignment. With respect to the Employee, this Agreement is
personal in its nature and the Employee shall not assign or transfer this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder. The Company may in its sole
discretion assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement and the provisions hereof
(including, without limitation, Sections 11, 12 and 13) shall inure to the
benefit of, and be binding upon, each successor of the Company, whether by
merger, consolidation, transfer of all or substantially all assets, or
otherwise.

            (j) Nouns and Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any
pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or
neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the
plural and vice-versa.

            (k) Construction. Where specific language (such as the word
"including") is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein,
such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any
manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The
language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the
parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict
construction shall be applied against any party hereto. The parties hereto have
participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the
event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this
Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

            (l) Delivery by Facsimile. This Agreement, the agreements referred
to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection
herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments or
supplements hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a
facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original
agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal
effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At
the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each
other party hereto or thereto shall reexecute original forms thereof and deliver
them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or
instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a signature or
the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or
communicated through the use of a facsimile machine as a

                                       23

defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party
forever waives any such defense.

            (m) Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Employee to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law and its certificate of incorporation
and by-laws against all costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained by the
Employee in connection with his employment with the Company, other than as a
result of actions taken by him in bad faith or due to his gross negligence. This
indemnification obligation shall survive termination of this Agreement. In
addition, during the Employment Period, the Company shall continue to maintain,
and shall cover the Employee under, its Directors and Officers Liability
Insurance and Errors and Omissions Insurance at coverage levels which are no
less than those currently in effect.

            (n) Costs And Expenses of Agreement. All reasonable costs and
expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Employee
in negotiating the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any agreements
ancillary to this Agreement shall be promptly reimbursed to the Employee by the
Company together with a tax gross-up payment to cover all taxes due on such
payment upon submission of an invoice therefor.

            (o) Arbitration. Prior to the commencement of any legal action to
enforce any provision of this Agreement or to resolve any dispute arising under
this Agreement, the Company and the Employee agree to notify the other for the
purpose of determining whether the parties will agree to submit any such dispute
to mediation or arbitration on mutually agreeable terms; provided, however, that
the Company does not need to notify the Employee of its intent to file a legal
action for a breach of Sections 12 or 13 hereof, nor must the Company seek to
mediate or arbitrate any such dispute. Nothing in this Section 18(o) shall
require the parties to mediate or arbitrate any disputes arising under this
Employment Agreement.
