    a) Noncompetition.  Executive agrees that during the term of his employment
       --------------
       hereunder, and for the "Restricted Period" (as hereinafter defined)
       thereafter following the termination of Executive's employment with the
       Company for any reason, he will not, within the United States,
       participate, engage or have any interest in, directly or indirectly, any
       person, firm, corporation, or business (whether as an employee, officer,
       director, agent, creditor, or consultant or in any capacity which calls
       for the rendering of personal services, advice, acts of management,
       operation or control) which carries on any business or

                                                                          Page 3
<PAGE>

        activity competitive with the Company or any affiliated company
        (including, without limitation, any products or services sold,
        investigated, developed or otherwise pursued by the Company or any
        affiliated company at any time or from time to time) without the prior
        written consent of the Chief Executive Officer. For purposes of this
        Paragraph 7(a), the "Restricted Period" shall be deemed to be the longer
        of (i) one (1) year following termination of Executive's employment for
        any reason or (ii) the period during which Executive is receiving salary
        continuation payments hereunder. This Paragraph 7(a) shall survive the
        termination or expiration of this Agreement.

    b)  Unauthorized Use of Confidential Information.  Executive acknowledges
        -------------------------------------------
        and agrees that (i) during the course of his employment Executive will
        have produced and/or have access to Confidential Information (as defined
        in subparagraph (c) hereof), of the Company and its affiliated
        companies, and (ii) the unauthorized use or sale of any of such
        confidential or proprietary information at any time would harm the
        Company and would constitute unfair competition with the Company.
        Executive promises and agrees not to engage in any unfair competition
        with the Company either during or after the term of this Agreement.
        Therefore, during and subsequent to his employment by the Company and
        its affiliated companies, Executive agrees to hold in confidence and
        not, directly or indirectly, disclose, use, copy or make lists of any
        such information, except to the extent expressly authorized by the
        Company in writing or as required by law. All records, files, drawings,
        documents, equipment, and the like, or copies thereof, relating to the
        Company's business, or the business of any of its affiliated companies,
        which Executive shall prepare, use, or come into contact with, shall be
        and remain the sole property of the Company, and shall not be removed
        (except to allow Executive to perform his responsibilities hereunder
        while traveling for business purposes or otherwise working away from his
        office) from the Company's or the affiliated company's premises without
        its prior written consent, and shall be promptly returned to the Company
        upon termination of employment with the Company and its affiliated
        companies. This paragraph 7(b) shall survive the termination or
        expiration of this Agreement.

    c)  Confidential Information Defined.  For purposes of this Agreement,
        --------------------------------
        "Confidential Information" means all information (whether reduced to
        written, electronic, magnetic or other tangible form) acquired in any
        way by Executive during the course of his employment with the Company or
        any of its affiliated companies concerning the products, projects,
        activities, business or affairs of the Company and its affiliated
        companies, or the Company's or any of its affiliated company's
        customers, including, without limitation, (i) all information concerning
        trade secrets of the Company and its affiliated companies, including
        computer programs, system documentation, special hardware, product
        hardware, related software development, manuals, formulae, processes,
        methods, machines, compositions, ideas, improvements or inventions of
        the Company and its affiliated companies, (ii) all sales and financial
        information concerning the Company and its affiliated companies, (iii)
        all customer and supplier lists of the Company and its affiliated
        companies, (iv) all information concerning products or projects under
        development by the Company or any of its affiliated companies or
        marketing plans for any of those products or projects, and (v) all
        information in any way concerning the products, projects, activities,
        business or affairs of customers of the Company or any of its affiliated
        companies which was fur-

                                                                          Page 4
<PAGE>

        nished to him by the Company or any of its agents or customers;
        provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include
        information which (A) becomes available to the public other than as a
        result of a disclosure by Executive, (B) was available to him on a non-
        confidential basis outside of his employment with the Company, or (C)
        becomes available to him on a non-confidential basis from a source other
        than the Company or any of its agents, creditors, suppliers, lessors,
        lessees or customers.

    d)  Nonsolicitation.  Executive recognizes and acknowledges that it is
        ---------------
        essential for the proper protection of the business of the Company and
        its affiliated companies that Executive be restrained for a reasonable
        period following the termination of Executive's employment with the
        Company and its affiliated companies from: (i) soliciting or inducing
        any employee of the Company or any of its affiliated companies to leave
        the employ of the Company or any of its affiliated companies; (ii)
        hiring or attempting to hire any employee of the Company or any of its
        affiliated companies; or (iii) soliciting the trade of or trading with
        the customers of the Company or any of its affiliated companies for any
        competitive business purpose. Accordingly, Executive agrees that during
        the term of his employment hereunder, and for the Restricted Period
        thereafter following the termination of Executive's employment with the
        Company and its affiliated companies for any reason, Executive shall
        not, directly or indirectly, (x) hire, solicit, aid in or encourage the
        hiring and/or solicitation of, contract with, aid in or encourage the
        contracting with, or induce or encourage to leave the employment of the
        Company or any of its affiliated companies, any employee of the Company
        or any of its affiliated companies; and (y) solicit, aid in or encourage
        the solicitation of, contract with, aid in or encourage the contracting
        with, service, or contact any person or entity which is, or was, within
        three years prior to the termination of Executive's employment with the
        Company and its affiliated companies, a customer or client of the
        Company or any of its affiliated companies for the purpose of offering
        or selling a product or service competitive with any of those offered by
        the Company of any of its affiliated companies. For purposes of this
        Paragraph 7(d), the "Restricted Period" shall be deemed to be the longer
        of (i) two (2) years following termination of Executive's employment for
        any reason or (ii) the period during which Executive is receiving salary
        continuation payments hereunder. This Paragraph 7(d) shall survive the
        termination or expiration of this Agreement.

    e)  Remedy for Breach.  Executive agrees that in the event of a breach or
        -----------------
        threatened breach of any of the covenants contained in this Paragraph 7,
        the Company shall have the right and remedy to have such covenants
        specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being
        acknowledged and agreed that any material breach of any of the covenants
        will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will
        not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.

    f)  Blue-Penciling.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that the
        --------------
        noncompetition and nonsolicitation provisions contained herein are
        reasonable and valid in geographic, temporal and subject matter scope
        and in all other respects, and do not impose limitations greater than
        are necessary to protect the goodwill, Confidential Information and
        other business interests of the Company. Nevertheless, if any court
        determines that any of said noncompetition and other restrictive
        covenants and agreements, or any part thereof, is unen-

                                                                          Page 5
<PAGE>

        forceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision,
        such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such
        provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision
        shall then be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
        law.

8.  Termination.
    -----------

    a)  For Cause.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company
        ---------
        may, without liability, terminate Executive's employment hereunder for
        Cause (as defined below) at any time upon written notice from the Board
        (or any duly authorized Committee thereof) specifying such Cause, and
        thereafter, the Company's obligations hereunder shall cease and
        terminate; provided, however, that such written notice shall not be
                   --------  -------
        delivered until after the Board (or any duly authorized Committee
        thereof) shall have given Executive written notice specifying the
        conduct alleged to have constituted such Cause and Executive has failed
        to cure such conduct, if curable, within fifteen (15) days following
        receipt of such notice. As used herein, the term "Cause" shall mean (i)
        Executive's willful misconduct, habitual neglect or dishonesty with
        respect to matters involving the Company or its subsidiaries which is
        materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company, or (ii) a material
        breach by Executive of one or more terms of this Agreement.

    b)  Arbitration Required to Confirm Cause.  In the event of a termination
        -------------------------------------
        for Cause pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, the Company shall continue
        to pay Executive's then current compensation as specified in this
        Agreement until the issuance of an arbitration award affirming the
        Company's action. Such arbitration shall be held in accordance with the
        provisions of Paragraph 9(d) below. In the event the award upholds the
        action of the Company, Executive shall promptly repay to the Company any
        sums received pursuant to this subparagraph 8(b), following termination
        of employment.

    c)  Other than for Cause; Performance, Reorganization.  Notwithstanding
        -------------------------------------------------
        anything herein to the contrary, the Company may also terminate
        Executive's employment (without regard to any general or specific
        policies of the Company relating to the employment or termination of its
        employees) (i) should Executive fail to perform his duties hereunder in
        a manner satisfactory to the Chief Executive Officer, provided that
        Executive shall first be given written notice of such unsatisfactory
        performance and a period of ninety (90) days to improve such performance
        to a level deemed acceptable to the Chief Executive Officer, (ii) should
        Executive's position be eliminated as a result of a reorganization or
        restructuring of the Company or any of its affiliated companies or (iii)
        for any other reason or reasons.

    d)  Obligations of the Company on Termination of Employment.
        -------------------------------------------------------

        (i)  If the Company terminates Executive's employment pursuant to
             subparagraph 8(a) above and the Company's action is affirmed as
             specified in subparagraph 8(b) above or Executive terminates his
             employment with the Company other than for Good Reason (as defined
             in subparagraph (d)(iii)), then all of the Company's obligations
             hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. Executive shall
             thereupon have no

                                                                          Page 6
<PAGE>

              further right or entitlement to additional salary, incentive
              compensation payments or awards, or any perquisites from the
              Company whatsoever, and Executive's rights, if any, under the
              Company's employee and executive benefit plans shall be determined
              solely in accordance with the express terms of the respective
              plans;

        (ii)  If the Company terminates Executive's employment pursuant to
              subparagraph 8(c) above or Executive terminates his employment
              with the Company for Good Reason prior to the expiration of this
              Agreement, then in lieu of any benefits payable pursuant to the
              Company's Executive Severance Policy (so long as the compensation
              and benefits payable hereunder equal or exceed those payable under
              said Policy) and in complete satisfaction and discharge of all of
              its obligations to Executive hereunder, the Company shall,
              provided Executive is not in breach of the provisions of Paragraph
              7 hereof, and except as provided in Paragraph 9(c) below, (A)
              continue Executive's then base salary, without increase, for the
              remainder of the term of this Agreement, provided, however, that
                                                       --------  -------
              the Company's obligation to make such salary payments shall be
              reduced by any compensation received by Executive from a
              subsequent employer during such term, (B) consider Executive for a
              bonus under the terms of the Company's MIP for the fiscal year in
              which termination occurs (but not for any subsequent year)
              provided that any such bonus, if earned, shall be pro-rated to
              reflect the portion of the year for which Executive was actively
              employed, (C) continue Executive's automobile allowance and
              Executive Medical Plan benefits until the expiration date of this
              Agreement, (D) subject to the express special forfeiture and

     ----------------------------------------------------

     (a)  No Competition. Executive agrees that during the term of his
          --------------
          employment under this Agreement, and for the "Restricted Period" (as
          hereinafter defined) thereafter following the termination of
          Executive's employment with the Company for any reason, he will not,
          within the United States, (i) participate, engage or have any interest
          in, directly or indirectly, any person, firm, corporation, or business
          (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, creditor, or
          consultant or in any other capacity which calls for the rendering of
          personal services, advice, acts of management, operation or control)
          which carries on any business or activity competitive with the Company
          or any affiliated company about whose business and operations he has
          acquired confidential information (including, without limitation, any
          products or services sold, investigated, developed or otherwise
          pursued by the Company or any affiliated company at any time or from
          time to time). For purposes of this Paragraph 7(a), the "Restricted
          Period" shall be deemed to be one year.

     (b)  Unauthorized Use of Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges

          produced and/or has had or will have access to Confidential
          Information, as hereinafter defined, and (ii) the unauthorized use or
          sale of any such Confidential Information at any time would harm the
          Company and would constitute unfair competition with Company.
          Therefore, during his employment by Company or by an affiliated
          company, and for a period of five (5) years after termination of such
          employment, Executive agrees to hold in confidence Confidential
          Information and not, directly or indirectly, disclose, publish, or
          otherwise make available to the public or to any individual, firm or
          corporation, or use, copy or make lists of any Confidential
          Information, except to the extent expressly authorized by Company in
          writing. Executive further agrees that all Confidential Information,
          together with all records, files, drawings, documents, equipment, and
          the like, or copies thereof, relating to Company's business, or the
          business of an affiliated company, which Executive shall prepare, or
          use, or come into contact with, shall be and remain the sole property
          of Company, or of an affiliated company, and shall not be removed
          (except to allow Executive to perform his responsibilities hereunder
          while traveling for business purposes or otherwise working away from
          his office) from the Company's or the affiliated company's premises
          without its prior written consent, and shall be promptly returned to
          Company upon termination of employment with Company and its affiliated
          companies.

          written, electronic, magnetic

                                      -4-

          or other tangible form) acquired in any way by Executive during the
          course of his employment with the Company concerning the products,
          projects, activities, business or affairs of the Company or the
          Company's customers, including, without limitation, (i) all

          information which (A) becomes available to the public other than as a
          result of a disclosure by Executive, (B) was available to him on a

          other than the Company or any of its agents, creditors, suppliers,
          lessors, lessees or customers. "Company" as used herein includes all
          affiliates of the Company including, without limitation, HBOC.

     (d)  Nonsolicitation. Executive recognizes and acknowledges that it is
          ---------------
          essential for the proper protection of the business of the Company
          that Executive be restrained for a reasonable period following the
          termination of Executive's employment with the Company from: (1)
          soliciting or inducing any employee of the Company to leave the employ
          of the Company; (2) hiring or attempting to hire any employee of the
          Company; or (3) soliciting the trade of or trading with the customers
          of the Company for any competitive business purpose. Accordingly,
          Executive agrees that during the term of his employment under this
          Agreement, and for the Restricted Period thereafter following the
          termination of Executive's employment with the Company for any reason,
          Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) hire, solicit, aid in
          or encourage the hiring and/or solicitation of, contract with, aid in
          or encourage the contracting with, or induce or encourage to leave the
          employment of the Company, any employee of the Company; and (ii)
          solicit, aid in or encourage the solicitation of, contract with, aid
          in or encourage the contracting with, service, or contact any person
          or entity which is, or was, within three years prior to the
          termination of Executive's employment with the Company, a customer or
          client of the Company or HBOC, for the purpose of offering or selling
          a product or service competitive with any of those offered by the
          Company. For purposes of this Paragraph 7(d), the "Restricted Period"
          shall be deemed to be two (2) years.

     (e)  Remedy for Breach. Executive agrees that in the event of a breach or
          ------------------
          threatened breach of any of the covenants contained in this Paragraph
          7, the Company shall have the right and remedy to have such covenants
          specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being
          acknowledged and agreed than any material breach of any of the
          covenants will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money
          damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company.

     (f)  Blue-Penciling. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the
          --------------
          noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements contained herein are
          reasonable and valid in geographic, temporal and subject matter scope
          and in all other respects, and do not impose

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

          limitations greater than that are necessary to protect the goodwill,
          Confidential Information, and other business interests of the Company,
          Nevertheless, if any court determines that any of said noncompetition
          and other restrictive covenants and agreements, or any part thereof,
          is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such
          provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or
          scope of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form,
          such provision shall then be enforceable to the maximum extent
          permitted by applicable law.

     (g)  Survivability. Paragraphs 7(a), (b) and (d) shall survive the
          -------------
          termination or expiration of this Agreement.

8.   Termination.
     -----------

     (a)  For Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
          ---------
          Company may, without liability, terminate Executive's employment
          hereunder for cause at any time upon written notice from the Board of
          Directors (or any duly authorized Committee thereof) specifying such
          cause, and thereafter the Company's obligations hereunder shall cease
          and terminate; provided, however that such written notice
                         --------  -------
          shall not be delivered until after the Board of Directors (or
          any duly authorized Committee thereof) shall have given Executive
          written notice specifying the conduct alleged to have constituted such
          cause and Executive has failed to cure such conduct, if curable,
          within fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice. As used
          herein, the term "cause" shall mean (i) Executive's willful
          misconduct, habitual neglect, dishonesty or other intentional actions
          (or failures to act) which are materially and demonstrably injurious
          to the Company, or (ii) a material breach by Executive of one or more
          terms of this Agreement.

          policies of Company relating to the employment or termination of its
          employees) should (i) Executive fail to perform his duties hereunder
          in a manner satisfactory to the Chief Executive Officer of Company,
          provided that Executive shall first be given written notice of such
          unsatisfactory performance and a period of ninety (90) days to improve
          such performance to a level deemed acceptable to the Chief Executive
          Officer or, (ii) Executive's position be eliminated as a result of a
          reorganization or restructuring of Company or its affiliated
          companies.

               thereupon have no further right or entitlement to additional
               salary, incentive compensation payments or awards, or any

               subject to both (x) the express special forfeiture and repayment
               provisions of the respective plans (or the terms and conditions
               applicable thereto) and (y) the provisions of subparagraph
               (c)(iv) below, continue the accrual and vesting of Executive's

               term of this Agreement for purposes of the EBRP, ESBP, and the
               Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (or any similar plan or

                             --------  -------
               Directors, or any duly authorized Committee, in its sole
               discretion, determines otherwise) Executive shall in no event
               receive or be entitled either to additional grants or awards

                         --------  ----
               way whatsoever in any performance period commencing subsequent to
               the date of termination, and (f) terminate Executive's
               participation in Company's tax-qualified profit-sharing plans and
