                              PROTECTIVE COVENANTS

     4.01General.  Employee  expressly  acknowledges and agrees that he has been
and will be given access to and become  familiar  with Trade Secrets (as defined
in Section 4.03) developed at the Company's expense, which are valuable, unique,
and essential to the  performance  of Employee's  duties  hereunder,  as well as
being essential to the overall  continued  success and business  goodwill of the
company.  Employee expressly  acknowledges and agrees that the Trade Secrets are
proprietary and  confidential,  and if any of the Trade Secrets were imparted to
or become known by any person(s)  engaging in a business in any way  competitive
with that of the  Company's,  such would result in hardship,  loss,  irreparable
injury and damage to the Company, the measurement thereof would be difficult, if
not impossible,  to determine.  Accordingly,  Employee expressly agrees that (i)
the Company has a legitimate  interest in  protecting  the Trade Secrets and its
business goodwill,  (ii) it is necessary for the Company to protect its business
from such hardship,  loss,  irreparable  injury and damage,  (iii) the following
covenants are a reasonable  means by which to accomplish that purpose,  and (iv)
any intentional  violation of any of the protective  covenants  contained herein
shall constitute a breach of trust and represent grounds for immediate dismissal
and for appropriate legal action for damages, enforcement and/or injunction

     4.02Noncompetition.  Employee  covenants  that,  during  the  term  of this
Agreement  and  for a  period  of  one  (1)  year  immediately  thereafter  (the
"Limitation Period"),  irrespective of which party terminates this Agreement and
whether  such  termination  is for cause or  otherwise,  he will not directly or
indirectly,  either as an  employee,  employer,  consultant,  agent,  principal,
partner,  stockholder  (other than  ownership  of  securities  of publicly  held
corporations  of which  Employee owns less than one percent (1%) of any class of
outstanding securities),  corporate officer, director, investor, or financier or
in any other individual or representative capacity, directly or indirectly:

     (a) Engage or  participate in any business  within the Prohibited  Area, as
hereinafter  defined,  that is in competition in any manner  whatsoever with the
Company's  business and the products or services  offered by the Company in such
areas,  without the prior written  consent of the Company.  For purposes of this
subsection,  the term "Prohibited  Area" means the United States and any foreign
country in which the  Company's  products or services  are sold at the time this
Agreement is terminated.

     (b) Solicit or attempt to solicit,  any of the Company's  past,  present or
prospective (as of the termination of this Agreement) investors,  customers,  or
suppliers,  in any manner which is competitive with the Company's business as it
is operated as of the termination of Employee's employment hereunder;

                                       3
<PAGE>

     (c) Induce, or attempt to induce, any employee of the Company to terminate
his employment or hire away or attempt to hire away, any employee of the
Company;

     (d) Induce, or attempt to induce, any present or future supply or service
resource (including investment and other financing resources) to withdraw,
curtail, or cancel the furnishing of supplies or services (including investment
and other financing resources) to the Company; or

     (e) Engage in any act or activity which would interfere with or harm any
business relationship the Company may have with any investor, customer,
employee, principal or supplier.

          4.03 Trade  Secrets.  It is  understood  that during the course of his
     employment hereunder,  the Employee will have access to and become familiar
     with certain  proprietary and confidential  information of the Company (the
     "Trade Secrets"),  which includes, by way of illustration and not by way of
     limitation:

     (a) Lists containing the names of past, present and prospective  customers,
employees, principals, and suppliers;

     (b) The past,  present and prospective  methods,  procedures and techniques
utilized in identifying  prospective  markets,  customers,  and suppliers and in
soliciting the business thereof;

     (c) The past,  present and prospective  methods,  procedures and techniques
used in the operations of the Company's business,  including marketing plans and
objectives  and the  methods,  procedures  and  techniques  utilized in selling,
pricing, applying and delivering the Company's products and services; and,

     (d) Compilations of information,  records, and processes which are owned or
developed by the Company  and/or which are used in the operation of the business
of  the  Company,   including,   without   limitation,   electronically   stored
information.

     Trade  Secrets  do not  include  information  which  (i) at the  time it is
disclosed by the Employee was already  known to the public;  or (ii) is required
to be disclosed by a court order.

     Employee  acknowledges that the Trade Secrets give the Company an advantage
over its  competitors,  and that  the same is not  available  to or known by the
Company's competitors or the general public.  Employee further acknowledges that
the Company has devoted  substantial  time, money, and effort in the development
of the Trade Secrets and in maintaining the proprietary and confidential  nature
thereof.  Employee further  acknowledges his position with the Company is one of
the highest trust and  confidence  by reason of Employee's  knowledge of, access
to, and contact with the Trade Secrets.  Employee agrees to use his best efforts
and  exercise  utmost  diligence  to protect and  safeguard  the Trade  Secrets.
Employee  covenants  that,  during  the  term  of  this  Agreement  and  for the
Limitation  Period  regardless  of which party  terminates  this  Agreement  and
whether  such  termination  is for cause,  he will not  intentionally  disclose,
disseminate  or distribute to another,  nor induce any other person to disclose,
disseminate  or  distribute,  any Trade  Secrets  of the  Company,  directly  or
indirectly,  either for  Employee's  own  benefit or for the benefit of another,
whether or not acquired,  learned, obtained or developed by Employee alone or in
conjunction  with  others,  nor will  Employee  use or cause to be used in Trade
Secrets in any way except as is  required in the course of his  employment  with
the Company. For the purposes of this section, any disclosure,  dissemination or
distribution  of any Trade Secrets  caused by the  Employee's  gross  negligence
shall be deemed to be made  intentionally.  Employee  acknowledges and covenants
that all Trade Secrets relating to the business of the Company, whether prepared
by Employee or otherwise coming into his possession,  shall remain the exclusive
property of the Company.  Employee further covenants that all memoranda,  notes,
records,  drawings or other  documents made,  compiled,  acquired or received by
Employee  during the term of this  Agreement and in his  possession or under his
control at the termination of his employment hereunder, concerning any corporate
activity,  including,  but not limited to, techniques and applications developed
by the  Company,  management  techniques,  names  of  investors  and  customers,
marketing and sales  techniques,  and product and service  pricing  information,

                                       4
<PAGE>

shall together with all copies, be delivered,  in good condition, to the Company
immediately  upon  Employee's  termination  (whether or not so  requested by the
Company), or at any time upon the Company's request.

     4.04Extension  of  Limitation  Period.  The  parties  acknowledge  that  if
Employee  violates any of the  protective  covenants  hereunder  and the Company
brings legal action for injunctive or other relief hereunder, the Company shall,
as a result of the time  involved in  obtaining  the relief,  be deprived of the
benefit  of  the  full  Limitation   Period  of  these   protective   covenants.
Accordingly,  the Limitation Period shall be deemed to have the full duration of
the period stated therein, computed from the date relief is granted, but reduced
by the  time  between  the  period  when  the  restriction  began  to run at the
termination  of  Employee's  employment  hereunder  and the  date  of the  first
violation of the covenant by Employee.

     4.05Survival of Protective Covenants. Each covenant on the part of Employee
contained in this Article 4 shall be  construed as an agreement  independent  of
any other  provision of this Agreement and shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the
Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute
a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenant.

     4.06Remedies for Breach.  Employee acknowledges that the legal remedies for
breach of the protective covenants hereunder are inadequate and therefore agrees
that, in addition to all of the remedies  available to the Employee in the event
of a breach or a threatened breach of any covenant  contained in this Article 4,
the Company may:

     (a) Obtain temporary,  preliminary,  and permanent  injunctions against any
and all such actions; and

     (b) Seek to recover from Employee  monetary  damages to the Company arising
from such  breach or  threatened  breach and all costs and  expenses  (including
attorneys'  fees) incurred by the Company in the  enforcement of such protective
covenants.

     4.07Intent of Parties.  Employee  recognizes and agrees that this Agreement
is necessary and essential to protect the business of the Company and to realize
and  derive  all the  benefits,  rights,  and  expectations  of  conducting  the
Company's  business;  that the area and  duration  of the  protective  covenants
herein are in all things  reasonable;  and that good and valuable  consideration
exists for Employee's agreement to be bound by such protective covenants.

     4.08Affiliates  of the Company.  The protective  covenants in the Article 4
shall also benefit the business and Trade  Secrets of the  Company's  Affiliates
(as  hereinafter  defined)  and these  covenants  shall be  enforceable  against

of Employee  shall not affect any of the Company's  other rights and remedies at
law, in equity, or under this Agreement.

     In the event of the  termination  of this  Agreement for any of the reasons
set forth in this Section 5.03 the Employee shall be entitled to receive:

     (a) his base salary earned prior to the date of  termination as provided in
Section 3.01 of this Agreement  computed pro rata up to an including the date of

grounds other than for cause,  disability,  resignation  or death,  the Employee
shall be entitled to receive,  as the  Employee's  sole remedy and as liquidated
damages:

scheduled time for making such calculation or payment.

health  insurance   benefits   pursuant  to  the  Consolidated   Omnibus  Budget

plan.

     If the  Employee  is  terminated  by the  Company  other than for Cause the
Employee agrees to use his best efforts to locate other full time employment. If

equal to that set forth in Section 3.01 above the Company's  obligations to make
payments to the Employee under this Section 5.04 shall  immediately  and forever

his  termination  by the Company other than for Cause and the end of the term of
employment  set forth in Section  1.02 above at a salary level that is less than
that set forth in Section 3.01 above, the Company's obligations to make payments

                                       7

difference  between  the salary  set forth in Section  3.01 above and the salary
which the employee receives from such other employment.  If the Employee obtains
part time  employment  during the period between his  termination by the Company
other than for Cause and the end of the term of employment  set forth in Section
1.02 above the  Company's  obligations  to make payments  under Section  5.04(a)
above shall be reduced to the difference between the salary set forth in Section
3.01 above and all salary or wages  received by the  Employee  from time to time
from such part time  employment.  Employee hereby  expressly waives and releases
any other or further  right to damages or  additional  compensation  relating to
termination of Employee's employment hereunder.

formulae,   improvements,   technologies,   designs,  inventions  (collectively,
"Inventions"),   including   new   contributions,   developments,   ideas,   and
discoveries,  whether or not patentable or copyrightable,  conceived, developed,
invented,  or made solely by Employee,  or jointly  with others,  that relate to
products or services the company is engaged in, during the Employment Term shall
be  conclusively  deemed  "work for hire" and is property of, and belong to, the
Company. In connection therewith, Employee shall:

Inventions,  whether or not patentable,  copyrightable or otherwise  protectable
including  all  substitute,  continuation-in-part,   and  reissue  applications,
patents of addition or reissue applications, patents of addition or confirmation
relative  thereto,  for the United  States of America and foreign  countries and
sign all documents and instruments necessary to carry out the foregoing;

     (c) Give testimony in support of inventorship;  provided,  however, that if
such testimony is required after  termination of the Employee's  employment with
the Company the  Company  shall pay the  Employee a fee of $100 per hour for the
time spent by the  Employee in giving such  testimony  and  reasonable  expenses
incurred by the Employee in connection with giving such testimony; and

     (d) Use his best  efforts  to  cooperate  with the  Company,  and take such
further  actions as Employee  may  request,  in order to protect  and  otherwise
perfect Employee's rights to such Inventions.

Furthermore,  if any Invention is described in a patent or copyright application
where it is  disclosed to third  parties,  directly or  indirectly,  by Employee
within one (1) year after the  termination  of  employment  by the  Company,  is
presumed  that  the  Invention  was  conceived  or made  during  the  period  of
Employee's  employment  by the  Company.  Employee  agrees  not to  assert,  and
otherwise  hereby  waives,  any rights to any  Invention  as having been made or
acquired prior to the date of this  Agreement,  except for  Inventions,  if any,
disclosed to the Company in writing prior to the date hereof.
