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

         2.1 GRANT OF OPTIONS. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in

One Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000) shares of Common Stock (the "Options").

         2.2 DATE OF GRANT; EXERCISE PRICE. The date of grant of the Options is

         Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, by delivery of written
         notice to the Company indicating the number of Options which are being
         exercised by Gecko, accompanied by payment of the full amount of the
         "Aggregate Exercise Price" (as such term is hereinafter defined).

                  (b) For purposes of this Section 2.5, the term "Aggregate

<PAGE>

                  (c) The Aggregate Exercise Price shall be paid by Gecko to the
         Company by the delivery of (i) cash, (ii) certified or cashiers' check,
         (iii) shares of Common Stock already owned by Gecko, (iv) the
         withholding of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of
         the Options, (v) irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver
         promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to
         pay the purchase price, or (vi) any combination of the foregoing
         methods of payment. Shares of Common Stock delivered in payment of all
         or any part of the amounts payable in connection with the exercise of
         Options, and shares of Common Stock withheld for such payment, shall be
         valued for such purpose at their "Fair Market Value" (as such term is
         hereinafter defined) as of the date of exercise of the Options.

                  (d) "Fair Market Value" of a share of Common Stock on any day
         means the last sale price (or, if no last sale price is reported, the
         average of the high bid and low asked prices) for a share of Common
         Stock on such day (or, if such day is not a trading day, on the next
         preceding trading day) as reported on NASDAQ or, if not reported on
         NASDAQ, as quoted by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or if
         the Common Stock is listed on an exchange, on the principal exchange on
         which the Common Stock is listed. If for any day the Fair Market Value
         of a share of Common Stock is not determinable by any of the foregoing
         means, then the Fair Market Value for such day shall be determined in
         good faith by the Company on the basis of such quotations and other
         considerations as the Company deems appropriate.

         2.6 LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE AND ASSIGNMENT. The Options granted
pursuant to this Agreement shall be exercisable only by Gecko, and the Options
shall not be transferable by Gecko. The Options granted pursuant to this
Agreement shall not be subject to attachment, execution or other similar legal
process. In the event of (a) any attempt by Gecko to alienate, assign, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Options, or (b) the levy of any
attachment, execution or similar legal process upon the rights or interest
granted to Gecko pursuant to this Agreement, the Company, at its option, may
terminate the Options by the delivery of written notice to Gecko and the Options
shall thereupon become null and void.

         2.7 NO RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDER. Neither Gecko nor any other person shall
be, or shall have any of the rights and privileges of, a shareholder of the
Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock purchasable or issuable upon
the exercise of the Options, in whole or in part, prior to the date of exercise
of the Options and payment in full of the Aggregate Exercise Price therefor.

         2.8 STOCK ADJUSTMENT. If there is any change in the number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the number of
shares of Common Stock subject to the Options and the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately adjusted.

         2.9 STOCK RESERVED. The Company shall at all times during the term of
this Agreement reserve and keep available such number of shares of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, or its Common Stock held as treasury
stock, as shall be sufficient to satisfy the terms of this Agreement.

         2.10 CORPORATE REORGANIZATION. If there shall be any capital
reorganization or consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation or corporations or entity or entities, or any sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other
corporation or corporations or entity or entities, then, in any such event, the
Company shall take such action as may be necessary to enable Gecko to receive
upon any subsequent exercise of the Options, in whole or in part, including any
shares under the Options for which the right to exercise has not accrued
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.4 above, in lieu of shares of Common
Stock, securities or other assets as were issuable or payable upon such
reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale in respect of, or in exchange for,
such shares of Common Stock.

                                   ARTICLE III

                            DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES
                            ------------------------

         As soon as practicable following any exercise by Gecko of the Options,
the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Gecko a certificate or
certificates representing the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to any
such exercise; provided, however, that the Company may postpone the time of
delivery of any certificate for such period of time as the Company shall deem
necessary or desirable in order to enable it to comply with (i) the listing
requirements of any securities exchange or the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation system, (ii) the requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

                                   ARTICLE IV

     CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF GECKO
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

         Gecko represents and warrants to the Company, and covenants and agrees
with the Company, as follows:

                  (a) The shares of Common Stock to be issued to Gecko upon any
exercise of the Options are being acquired by Gecko for its own account, and not
for the account or beneficial interest of any other person or entity. The shares
of Common Stock to be issued to Gecko upon any exercise of the Options are not
being acquired by Gecko with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
"distribution" within the meaning of the Federal Securities Laws or any
applicable State Securities Laws.

<PAGE>

                  (b) The shares of Common Stock to be issued to Gecko upon any
exercise of the Options have not been, and will not be, registered under the
Federal Securities Laws or any State Securities Laws and, as such, must be held
by Gecko unless and until they are subsequently so registered under the Federal
Securities Laws and any applicable State Securities Laws or an exemption from
registration thereunder is available. The shares of Common Stock to be issued to
Gecko upon any exercise of the Options constitute "restricted securities," as
that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act.

                  (c) Gecko shall not sell, assign, transfer, convey, pledge,
hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of (collectively, a "Transfer") any
or all of the shares of Common Stock to be issued to it upon any exercise of the
Options, unless such Transfer is registered under the Federal Securities Laws
and any applicable State Securities Laws or a specific exemption from
registration thereunder is available. Any Transfer of any or all of the shares
of Common Stock to be issued to Gecko upon any exercise of the Options which is
made pursuant to an exemption claimed under the Federal Securities Laws and any
applicable State Securities Laws will require a favorable opinion of Gecko's
legal counsel, in form and in substance satisfactory to the Company and its
legal counsel, to the effect that such Transfer does not and will not violate
the provisions of the Federal Securities Laws or any applicable State Securities
Laws.

                  (d) The Company is under no obligation whatsoever to file any
registration statement under the Federal Securities Laws or any State Securities
Laws to register any Transfer of any shares of Common Stock held by Gecko, or to
take any other action necessary for the purpose of making an exemption from
registration available to Gecko in connection with any such Transfer. Stop
transfer instructions will be issued by the Company with respect to the shares
of Common Stock to be issued to Gecko upon any exercise of the Options.

                  (e) There will be placed upon all of the certificates
representing shares of Common Stock delivered by the Company to Gecko, and any
and all certificates delivered in partial or total substitution therefor, a
restrictive legend which will read substantially as follows:

                  THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD,
         ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, CONVEYED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, ENCUMBERED OR
         OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS (A) THEY ARE COVERED BY A REGISTRATION
         STATEMENT OR POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT THERETO, EFFECTIVE UNDER THE
         SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) SUCH SALE, ASSIGNMENT,
         TRANSFER, CONVEYANCE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, ENCUMBRANCE OR OTHER
         DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THAT ACT.

      5.	INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF THE COMPANY.
		5.1	Inventions.  During or after the Term, Executive
shall promptly disclose to the Company any and all Inventions,
and shall promptly communicate to the Company any and all
information, details and data pertaining to any Inventions in
such form as the Company requests.  Whenever Executive is
requested to do so by the Company, during or after the Term,
Executive shall promptly execute and deliver any and all
applications, assignments or other documents or instruments
deemed necessary or advisable by the Company to apply for and
obtain Letters Patent of the United States or any foreign
country or other jurisdiction or to otherwise protect, confirm
or establish the Company's full and exclusive interests in any
Inventions.  The obligations set forth in this Section 5.1 shall
be binding upon the successors, assigns, executors,
administrators and other legal representatives of Executive.
		5.2	Work for Hire.  Any Work for Hire shall be
considered a "work made for hire" under the copyright law of the
United States or property of the Company under applicable
federal, state, local and foreign trademark laws (as
appropriate).  During or after the Term, Executive shall
promptly communicate to the Company any and all Works for Hire,
and any and all information, details and data pertaining to any
Work for Hire, in such form as the Company requests.  To the
extent that any Work for Hire fails to qualify as (a) a "work
made for hire" under the copyright laws of the United States or
any other jurisdiction or (b) property of the Company under
applicable federal, state, local or foreign trademark laws,
Executive hereby assigns each such Work for Hire and all right,
title and interest therein in any and every jurisdiction to the
Company.  Whenever Executive is requested to do so by the
Company, during or after the Term, Executive shall promptly
execute and deliver any and all applications, assignments or
other documents or instruments deemed necessary or advisable by

exclusive ownership of each and every Work for Hire in the

rights under the copyright law of any nation or other
jurisdiction, or any other rights under the intellectual
property laws of any nation or other jurisdiction.  To the
extent that any jurisdiction worldwide recognizes moral rights,
copyright rights or other proprietary rights of a similar nature
in any Work for Hire which in such jurisdiction do not become
property of the Company under the "work made for hire" doctrine,
at the Company's request, Executive will execute and deliver,
during or after the Term, such documents and instruments as may
be deemed necessary to assign or waive such rights.  The
obligations set forth in this Section 5.2 shall be binding upon
the successors, assigns, executors, administrators and other
legal representatives of Executive.
		5.3	Assignment of Remaining Rights.  Executive hereby
transfers, assigns, conveys, grants and sets over to the

Rights.  Executive hereby covenants and agrees that, at any time
and from time to time during or after the Term, at the request
of the Company or its successors or assigns, he will (a)
promptly and duly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed
and delivered to the Company, all such further documents and
instruments and (b) promptly take all such other and further
action, as may be requested by the Company to more effectively
transfer, assign, convey, grant, set over, vest, protect,
confirm and establish full and exclusive right, title and
interest in and to all of the Remaining Rights in and to the
Company and its successors and assigns forever, including
without limitation, any and all applications, assignments or
other documents or instruments deemed necessary or advisable by
the Company to apply for and obtain Letters Patent of the United
States or any foreign country or other jurisdiction.  The
obligations set forth in this Section 5.3 shall be binding upon
the successors, assigns, executors, administrators and other
legal representatives of Executive.
      6.	COVENANTS OF EXECUTIVE.
      	6.1	Devotion to Duties.  Executive shall faithfully
and diligently do and perform all such acts and duties, and
furnish such services as are assigned to Executive as of the
date this Agreement is signed, including but not limited to
those duties stipulated in Schedule A hereto, and such
additional or different acts, duties and services as the Board
may assign in the future; and shall devote his full professional
time, energy, skill and best efforts to the performance of his
duties hereunder, in a manner that will faithfully and
diligently further the business and interests of Company, and
shall not be employed by or participate or engage in or in any
manner be a part of the management or operations of any business
enterprise other than Company without the prior written consent
of the Board, which consent may be granted or withheld in its
sole discretion.
            6.2	Non-Disclosure; Return of Property.
      	(a)	Executive agrees that, during the Term and
prior to the fifth anniversary of the Termination Date, he
shall not use or disclose (except as necessary during the
Term in connection with the legitimate performance of
Executive's duties on behalf of the Company and in good
faith or as required by law or governmental authority) any
Confidential Information.
      	(b)	Upon the expiration of the Term, or upon the
earlier request of the Company, Executive and his legal or
personal representatives will promptly return to the
Company any and all information, documents or other
materials relating to or containing Confidential
Information which are, and any and all other property of
the Company which is, in Executive's possession, care or
control, regardless of whether such materials were created
or prepared by Executive or at Executive's request and
regardless of the form of, or medium containing, such
information, documents or other materials.
            6.3	Non-Competition. As part of the consideration for
the compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive hereunder,
in keeping with Executive's duties as a fiduciary and in order
to protect the Company's interests in the confidential
information of Company and the business relationships developed
by Executive with the clients and potential clients of the
Company, and as an additional incentive for the Company to enter
into this Agreement, the Company and Executive agree to the
following non-competition provisions of this Agreement.
      During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of (x)
one year following the date of termination of Executive's
employment if terminated under Section 7(a) hereof or (y) six
months following the date of termination of Executive's
employment if terminated under Section 7(b) hereof, Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, participate, engage or assist
in any Competitive Activities in the United States of America
other than on behalf of and at the direction of the Company.
The foregoing covenant shall not be deemed breached as a result
of the ownership by Executive of less than an aggregate of five
percent of any class of stock of a Person engaged in Competitive
Activities; provided, however, that such stock is listed on a
national securities exchange or is quoted on the National Market
System of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

      Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may
limit Executive's ability to engage in certain businesses
anywhere in the United States of America during the period
provided for above, but acknowledges that, Executive will
receive sufficiently high compensation and other benefits under
this Agreement to justify such restriction.  It is expressly
understood and agreed that the Company and Executive consider
the restrictions contained in this Section 6.3 to be reasonable
and necessary.  Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid
restrictions are found by a court having jurisdiction to be
unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or
otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions
therein set forth to be modified by such court so as to be
reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified by the court, to
be fully enforced.

            6.4	Non-Solicitation.  Subject to the Company's
performance of its payment obligations, if any, pursuant to
Sections 7.1 and 7.2, prior to the second anniversary of the
Termination Date, Executive shall not directly or indirectly
solicit or recruit any Person employed or retained, or employed
or retained within the preceding six (6) month period, as an
employee, consultant or other independent contractor by the
Company or any of its affiliates, or encourage any such Persons
to terminate or adversely alter their relationship with the
Company or any of its affiliates.

            6.5	Irreparable Harm.  Executive acknowledges and
admits that a breach of any of the covenants contained in
Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4 may cause the Company irreparable harm.
Executive further acknowledges and admits that the damages
resulting from such a breach may be difficult or impossible to
ascertain, and may be of the sort that cannot be compensated by
money or other damages.  Executive therefore waives (and is
estopped from asserting in a court of law or equity) any
argument that the breach, or threatened breach, of any of the
covenants contained in Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4 does not
constitute irreparable harm for which an adequate remedy at law
is unavailable.  Nothing contained in Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4
or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting
the Company from pursuing any other remedies available at law or
in equity for a breach, or threatened breach, by Executive of
any of the covenants contained in Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4.

7.	TERMINATION AND SEVERANCE.

            7.1	Termination without Salary Continuation.  In the
event (i) Executive terminates his employment hereunder other
than for Good Reason, or (ii) Executive's employment is
terminated by Company due to his death, or for Cause, Executive
shall have no right to compensation or other benefits pursuant
to this Agreement for any period after his last day of active
employment.

            7.2	Termination with Salary Continuation.  In the
event (i) Executive's employment is terminated by Company for a
reason other than death or Cause, or (ii) Executive terminates
his employment for Good Reason, then Company shall:

      (a)	pay Executive a severance amount equal to
the lesser of (i) one-half (1/2) times Executive's Base Salary
as of his last day of active employment, or (ii) the unpaid
portion of Executive's Base Salary for the remainder of the Term
of this Agreement; the severance amount shall be paid in a
single sum within 30 days following the Termination Date;
provided, however, that in the event Executive's employment is
terminated due to a Disability, such amount shall be reduced by
any payments received by Executive under disability policies
provided for the benefit of Executive; and
      (b)	maintain and provide to Executive, at no
cost to Executive, for a period ending at the earliest of (i)
the expiration of six (6) months from Executive's last day of
active employment; (ii) the date of Executive's full-time
employment by another employer; or (iii) Executive's death,
continued participation in all group insurance, life insurance,
health and accident, disability, and other employee benefit
plans in which Executive would have been entitled to participate
had his employment with Company continued throughout such
period, provided that such participation is not prohibited by
the terms of the plan or by Company for legal reasons.
            7.3	Termination Notice.  Except in the event of
Executive's death, a termination under this Agreement shall be
effected by means of a Termination Notice.

8.	MISCELLANEOUS.
            8.1	Survival.  The representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements made herein shall survive the execution
of this Agreement.
            8.2	Assignment.  This Agreement and the rights and
obligations hereunder shall be assignable only with the prior
written consent of each of the parties.
            8.3	Benefits of Agreement.  This Agreement and all
obligations of the parties shall be binding upon, and inure to
the benefit of, the parties and their respective successors and
assigns.
            8.4	Severability.  In case any provision of this
Agreement shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be
deemed automatically adjusted to conform to the requirements for
validity or enforceability as declared at such time, and, as so
adjusted, shall be deemed a provision of this Agreement as
though originally included herein.  In particular, any court
considering the validity or enforceability of Section 6.2, 6.3
and/or 6.4, shall have and exercise the power to reduce the
scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete
specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or
unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is
valid, legal and enforceable and that comes closest to
expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or
provision, and in any such case, this Agreement shall be
enforceable as so modified.  In the event that any provision of
this Agreement deemed invalid or unenforceable is of such a
nature that it cannot be so adjusted or reformed, the provision
shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement as though the
provision had never been included therein, and in any case, the
remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in effect.
            8.5	Further Assurances.  Each party agrees to execute
such other documents, instruments, agreements and consents, and
take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the
other parties hereto to effectuate the purposes of this
Agreement.
            8.6	Amendment and Waiver.  This Agreement may be
amended, modified or waived only with prior written consent of
each of the parties.
            8.7	Delays or Omissions.  It is agreed that no delay
or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to
any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another
party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or
remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such
breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein,
or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance
thereafter occurring.  All remedies shall be cumulative and not
alternative.
            8.8	Notices.  All notices required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively
given:  (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified,

business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next

enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and
the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this
