and contemplated product line, trade secrets, compilations, business and
financial methods or practices, plans, hardware and software technology
products, systems, programs, projects and know-how, pricing, cost of providing
service and equipment, operating and maintenance costs, marketing and selling
techniques and information, customer data, customer names and addresses,
customer service requirements, supplier lists, and confidential information
relating to the Company's policies, employees, and/or business strategy (all of

Confidential Information and that the protection of the Confidential Information
against unauthorized disclosure or use is of critical importance to the Company.
The Employee agrees that, without prior written authorization of the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Employee will not, during her
employment, divulge to any person, directly or indirectly, except to the Company
or its officers and agents or as reasonably required in connection with the
Employee's duties on behalf of the Company, or make any independent use of,
except on behalf of the Company, any of the Company's Confidential Information,
whether acquired by the Employee during her employment or not. The Employee
further agrees that the Employee will not, at any time after her employment has
ended, use or divulge to any person directly or indirectly any Confidential
Information, or use any Confidential Information in subsequent employment of any
nature. Confidential Information does not include information which (i) was in
the public domain or publicly known or available prior to the date of
disclosure, (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of a disclosure by the Employee, or (iii) becomes available to the
Employee on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any party named in
this Agreement, or their respective advisor, provided that such sources are not
known by the Employee to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or
obligation of secrecy to any party with respect to such information. If the
Employee is subpoenaed, or is otherwise required by law

                                       7
<PAGE>

to testify concerning Confidential Information, the Employee agrees to notify
the Company upon receipt of a subpoena, or upon belief that such testimony shall
be required. This nondisclosure provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement for any reason. The Employee acknowledges that the Company would not
employ the Employee but for her covenants and promises contained in this Section
8.

     9.  Return of Documents. The Employee agrees that if the Employee's
         -------------------
relationship with the Company is terminated (for whatever reason), the Employee
shall not remove or take with the Employee, but will leave with the Company or
return to Company, all Confidential Information, in whatever form, including but
not limited to records, files, data, memoranda, reports, customer lists,
customer information, product information, price lists, documents and other
information, in whatever form (including on computer disk), and any and all
copies thereof, or if such items are not on the premises of the Company, the
Employee agrees to return such items immediately upon the Employee's termination
or the request of the Company. The Employee acknowledges that all such items are
and remain the property of the Company.

     10.   No Interference or Solicitation. The Employee agrees that during her
           -------------------------------
employment, and for a period of six (6) months following the termination of her
employment (for whatever reason), that neither he nor any individual,
partner(s), limited partnership, corporation or other entity or business with
which he is in any way affiliated, including, without limitation, any partner,
limited partner, director, officer, shareholder, employee, or agent of any such
entity or business, will: (i) request, induce or attempt to influence, directly
or indirectly, any employee of the Company to terminate their employment with
the Company; or (ii) employ any person who as of the date of this Agreement was,
or after such date is or was, an employee of the Company. The Employee further
agrees that during the period beginning with the commencement of the Employee's
engagement with the Company and ending six (6) months after the termination of
the Employee's employment with the Company (for whatever reason), he shall not,
directly or indirectly, as an employee, agent, consultant, stockholder,
director, partner or in any other individual or representative capacity of the
Company or of any other person, entity or business, solicit or encourage any
present or future customer, supplier, contractor, partner or investor of the
Company to terminate or otherwise alter her, her or its relationship with the
Company. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any
reason.

     11.    Non-Competition. In consideration of the numerous mutual promises
            ---------------
contained in the Agreement between the Company and the Employee, including,
without limitation, those involving Confidential Information, and in order to
protect the Company's Confidential Information and to reduce the likelihood of
irreparable damage which would occur in the event such information is provided
to or used by a competitor of the Company, the Employee agrees that during her
employment and for an additional period of six (6) months immediately following
the termination of her employment, whether voluntary or involuntary (the
"Noncompetition Term"), not to, directly or indirectly, either through any form
of ownership or as a director, officer, principal, agent, employee, employer,
adviser, consultant, shareholder, partner, or in any individual or
representative capacity whatsoever, without the prior written consent of the
Company (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion): (i) compete for
or solicit application service provider ("ASP") business for or on behalf of any
person or business entity with a place of business in the United States or
Canada; (ii) own, operate, participate in,

                                       8
<PAGE>

undertake any employment with or have any interest in any entity with a place of
business in the United States or Canada in the business of marketing and selling
of ASP services to persons or business entities, except owning publicly traded
stock for investment purposes only in which the Employee owns less than 5%;
(iii) compete for or solicit ASP services from any customer of the Company (or
its successors by merger); or (iv) use in any competition, solicitation, or
marketing effort any Confidential Information of the Company. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that these non-competition covenants shall apply only to
business entities and individuals that provide applications to customers through
the Internet or World Wide Web which applications such business entity or
individual did not develop. The Company further acknowledges and agrees that the
non-competition covenants are not applicable to business entities or individuals
that sell applications via the Internet or World Wide Web which such business
entity or individual developed, nor shall such covenants extend to internet
hosting or other internet service provider functions other than ASP services as
described in this Section 11.

          If, during any period within the Noncompetition Term, the Employee is
not in compliance with the terms of this Section 11, the Company shall be
entitled to, among other remedies, compliance by the Employee with the terms
of this Section 11 for an additional period equal to the period of such
noncompliance. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Noncompetition Term"
shall also include this additional period. The Employee hereby acknowledges that
the geographic boundaries, scope of prohibited activities and the time duration
of the provisions of this Section 11 are reasonable and are no broader than are
necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company.

          This noncompetition provision shall survive the termination of the
Employee's employment and can only be revoked or modified by a writing signed by
the parties which specifically states an intent to revoke or modify this
provision. The Employee acknowledges that the Company would not employ him but
for her covenants or promises contained in this Section 11.

     12.   Reformation of Section 11. The Company and the Employee agree and
           -------------------------
stipulate that the agreements and covenants not to compete contained in Section
11 hereof are fair and reasonable in light of all of the facts and
circumstances of the relationship between the Employee and the Company; however,
the Employee and the Company are aware that in certain circumstances courts have
refused to enforce certain agreements not to compete. Therefore, in furtherance
of, and not in derogation of the provisions of Section 11, the Company and the
Employee agree that in the event a court should decline to enforce the
provisions of Section 11, that Section 11 shall be deemed to be modified or
reformed to restrict the Employee's competition with the Company or its
affiliates to the maximum extent, as to time, geography and business scope,
which the court shall find enforceable; provided, however, in no event shall the
provisions of Section 11 be deemed to be more restrictive to the Employee than
those contained herein.

     13.    Injunctive Relief. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the
            -----------------
agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are essential to protect
the Confidential Information, business, and goodwill of the Company. The
Employee further acknowledges that the breach of any of the agreements contained
herein, including, without limitation, the confidentiality

                                       9
<PAGE>

covenants specified in Section 8, the non-solicitation covenants specified in
Section 10, and the non-competition covenants contained in Section 11, will give
rise to irreparable injury to the Company, inadequately compensable in damages.
Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent or
cure breaches or threatened breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to
enforce specific performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court of
competent jurisdiction. The Employee further acknowledges and agrees that in the
event of the termination of the Employee's employment with the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary, that the enforcement of a remedy hereunder by way of
injunction shall not prevent the Employee from earning a reasonable livelihood.
The Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained herein
are necessary for the protection of the Company's legitimate business interests
and are reasonable in scope and content.

     14.  Miscellaneous
          -------------

          14.1   Indemnification and Errors and Omissions Insurance. The
                 --------------------------------------------------
Company agrees to indemnify and defend the Employee on terms no less favorable
than any indemnification agreement the Company has at any time during the term
of this Agreement with an executive or officer of the Company. Any errors and
omissions insurance which the Company holds that applies to any officer or
director of the Company shall be applicable to Employee.

          14.2   Arbitration. The Employee and the Company shall submit to
                 -----------
mandatory binding arbitration in any controversy or claim arising out of, or
relating to, this Agreement or any breach hereof. Such arbitration shall be

Arbitration Association in effect at that time, and judgment upon the
determination or award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court

prevailing party the costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)

          14.3   Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be found

by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, then the parties hereby waive such provision to the extent that
it is found to be invalid or unenforceable and to the extent that to do so would
not deprive one of the parties of the substantial benefit of its bargain. Such
provision shall, to the extent allowable by law and the preceding sentence, be
modified by such arbitrator or court so that it becomes enforceable and, as
modified, shall be enforced as any other provision hereof, all the other
provisions continuing in full force and effect.

                 ---------
performance or compliance by the other of any of its obligations or agreements
shall in no way affect the right to require such performance or compliance at
any time thereafter. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision
hereof shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding
breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself. No waiver of
any kind shall be effective or binding, unless it is in writing and is signed by
the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.
