     ---------------------------------------------
     and agrees that:
          (1)  Due  to  the  nature  of  the  Company's  business, the foregoing
     covenants  place no greater restraint upon the Executive than is reasonably
     necessary to protect the business and goodwill of the Company;
          (2)  These  covenants protect a legitimate interest of the Company and
     do not serve solely to limit the Company's future competition;
          (3)  This  Agreement  is  not  an invalid or unreasonable restraint of
     trade;
          (4)  A  breach  of  these  covenants  by  the  Executive  would  cause
     irreparable damage to the Company;
          (5)  These  covenants  will  not  preclude the Executive from becoming
     gainfully employed following termination of employment with the Company;
          (6)  These  covenants  are  reasonable  in  scope  and  are reasonably
     necessary  to  protect the Company's business and goodwill and valuable and
     extensive  trade  which the Company has established through its own expense
     and effort;
          (7)  The  signing  of  this Agreement is necessary for the Executive's
     employment; and

     preliminary  injunction  and/or  permanent  injunction  restraining  and
     enjoining  the  Executive  from violating the provisions herein. Nothing in
     this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the Company from pursuing any
     other  available  remedies  for such breach or threatened breach, including
     the  recovery  of  damages from the Executive. The Executive further agrees
     that  for  the  purpose  of  any  such  injunction  proceeding, it shall be
     presumed that the Company's legal remedies would be inadequate and that the
     Company  would  suffer  irreparable  harm  as  a  result of the Executive's
     violation of the provisions of this Agreement. In any proceeding brought by
     the  Company  to  enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no other matter
     relating  to  the  terms  of  any claim or cause of action of the Executive
     against  the  Company  will  be  defense  thereto.  The  foregoing  remedy
     provisions are subject to the provisions of Sec.15.51 of the Texas Business

8.   TERMINATION.

     This  Agreement  and  the  employment  relationship  created  hereby  will
     terminate  (i)  upon  the  death of Executive under section 8(a); (ii) with
     cause  under  Section  8(b);  or  (iii)  upon  the voluntary termination of
     employment  by  Executive  under  Section  8(c).

          (a)  Death.  This  Agreement  will  terminate  on  the  Death  of  the
     Executive.

          (b)  With  Cause.  Bluegate  may  terminate this Agreement at any time

     of  its  reasonable  judgment  that  Executive has committed an act or acts
     constituting  a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude, dishonesty
     or  theft  or  fraud;  or  (ii)  Executive's  willful  misconduct  in  the
     performance  of his duties hereunder, provided, in each case, however, that
     Bluegate shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section unless
     Bluegate  shall  first  have  delivered  to  the  Executive, a notice which
     specifically  identifies  such breach or misconduct and the executive shall
     not  have  cured  the  same  within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such
     notice.

          (c)  Voluntary Termination. The Executive may terminate his employment
     voluntarily.

     of  Executive's employment pursuant to Section 8 (a), (b) or (c), Executive
     will be entitled only to the compensation earned by him hereunder as of the
     date  of  such  termination  (plus  any  life  insurance benefits, if any).

9.   WAIVER OF BREACH.

     The  waiver  by  any  party  hereto  of  a  breach of any provision of this

     If  a  dispute should arise regarding this Agreement the parties agree that
     all  claims,  disputes,  controversies,  differences  or  other  matters in
     question  arising  out  of  this  relationship  shall  be  settled finally,
     completely  and conclusively by arbitration in Houston, Texas in accordance
     with  the  Commercial  Arbitration  Rules  of  the  American  Arbitration
     Association (the "Rules"). The governing law of this Agreement shall be the
     substantive law of the State of Texas, without giving effect to conflict of
     laws.  A  decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding
     on  Bluegate  and  Executive.

11.  COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.

     So  long  as  the  Executive  is  employed  by Bluegate and for a period of
     eighteen  (18)  months  after  either  (i)  the  voluntary  termination  of
     employment  by  Executive  or  (ii)  the  termination  of  the Executive by
     Bluegate  for  cause,  as  set  forth in Section 8(b) hereof, the Executive
     specifically  agrees  that  he  will  not, for himself, on behalf of, or in
     conjunction  with  any  person,  firm,  corporation  or  entity, other than
     Bluegate  (either  as  principal,  employee, shareholder, member, director,
     partner,  consultant,  owner, or part-owner of any corporation, partnership
     or  any type of business entity) anywhere in my county in which Bluegate is
     doing  business  at  the  time of termination, directly or indirectly, own,
     mange, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, or be connected in
     any  manner  with  the  ownership, management, operation, or control of any
     business  similar to the type of business conducted by Bluegate at the time
     of termination of the Executive's employment.

     Executive's  Acknowledgment  and  Agreement. The Executive acknowledges and
     -------------------------------------------
     agrees  that:

          (1)  Due to the nature of Bluegate's business, the foregoing covenants
     place  no greater restraint upon the Executive than is reasonably necessary
     to protect the business and goodwill of Bluegate;

          (2)  These  covenants protect a legitimate interest of Bluegate and do
     not serve solely to limit Bluegate's future competition;

          (3)  This  Agreement  is  not  an invalid or unreasonable restraint of
     trade;

          (4)  A  breach  of  these  covenants  by  the  Executive  would  cause
     irreparable damage to Bluegate;

          (5)  These  covenants  will  not  preclude the Executive from becoming
     gainfully employed following termination of employment with Bluegate;

          (6)  These  covenants  are  reasonable  in  scope  and  are reasonably
     necessary  to  protect  Bluegate's  business  and goodwill and valuable and
     extensive  trade which Bluegate has established through its own expense and
     effort;

                                        4
<PAGE>
          (7)  The  signing  of  this Agreement is necessary for the Executive's
     employment; and

          (8)  He  has  carefully  read  and  considered  all provisions of this
     Agreement  and  that  all  of  the  restrictions  set  forth  are  fair and
     reasonable  and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests
     of Bluegate.

     Remedies,  Injunctions.  In  the  event  of  the  Executive's  actual  or
     ----------------------
     threatened breach of any provisions of this Agreement, the Executive agrees
     that  Bluegate  shall  be  entitled  to  a  temporary  restraining  order,
     preliminary  injunction  and/or  permanent  injunction  restraining  and
     enjoining  the  Executive  from violating the provisions herein. Nothing in
     this  Agreement  shall  be construed to prohibit Bluegate from pursuing any
     other  available  remedies  for such breach or threatened breach, including
     the  recovery  of  damages from the Executive. The Executive further agrees
     that  for  the  purpose  of  any  such  injunction  proceeding, it shall be
     presumed  that  Bluegate's  legal  remedies  would  be  inadequate and that
     Bluegate  would  suffer  irreparable  harm  as  a result of the Executive's
     violation of the provisions of this Agreement. In any proceeding brought by
     Bluegate  to  enforce  the  provisions  of  this Agreement, no other matter
     relating  to  the  terms  of  any claim or cause of action of the Executive
     against  Bluegate  will be defense thereto. The foregoing remedy provisions
     are  subject  to  the  provisions  of  Sec.15.15  of the Texas Business and
     Commerce Code, as amended (the "Code"), which Code provisions shall control
     in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof, and the Code or
     any  other  law  in  effect  relevant  and  applicable  hereto.

12.  Benefits Insurance.

          (a)  Medical,  Dental  and  Vision  Benefits.  During  this Agreement,
               ---------------------------------------
     Executive  and  his  dependents  will  be  entitled  to  receive such group
     medical,  dental  and  vision benefits as Bluegate may provide to its other
     executives,  provided  such  coverage  is  reasonably  available,  or  be
     reimbursed  if  Executive  is  carrying  his  own  similar  insurance.

          (b) Benefit Plan. The Executive will be entitled to participate in any
              ------------
     benefit  plan  or  program  of  Bluegate  that may currently be in place or
     implemented in the future.

          (c)  Other  Benefits.  During  the Term, Executive will be entitled to
               ---------------
     receive,  in  addition  to  and  not in lieu of base salary, bonus or other
     compensation,  such  other  benefits  and  normal  perquisites  as Bluegate
     currently  provides or such additional benefits as Bluegate may provide for
     its executive officers in the future.

13.  Vacation and Sick Leave.

          (a)  Vacation  Pay.  The  Executive  shall  be  entitled  to an annual
               -------------
     vacation  leave  of  four  (4) weeks at full pay. Executive is specifically
     permitted to work from home or

                                        5
<PAGE>
     other remote location in his discretion, which time shall not be considered
     as  vacation  leave.

          (b) Sick Pay. The Executive shall be entitled to sick leave as needed.
              --------

14.  REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES.

     Upon  submission  of  a  detailed  statement  and reasonable documentation,
     Bluegate  will  reimburse  Executive  in the same manner as other executive
     officers  for  all  reasonable  and  necessary or appropriate out-of-pocket
     travel  and  other  expenses  incurred  by  Executive in rendering services
     required under this Agreement.

15.  WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.

     Bluegate may withhold from any payments under this Agreement all applicable
     taxes,  as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation
     or  ruling.

16.  ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING.

     This  Agreement  sets  forth  the  entire understanding between the parties
     with  respect  to  the subject matter hereof and cancels and supersedes all
     prior  oral  and written agreements between the parties with respect to the
     subject matter hereof.

17.  SEVERABILITY.

     If  for  any  reason any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid,
     such  invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not
     held  so  invalid.

18.  GOVERNING LAW.

     This  Agreement  has  been  executed  and  delivered  in the State of Texas
     and  its  validity,  interpretation,  performance  and enforcement shall be
     governed by and construed in accordance with the laws thereof applicable to
     contracts executed and to be wholly performed in Texas.

19.  NOTICES.

     All  notices  shall  be  in  writing  and  shall  have  been  duly given if

     may designate by like notice:

     If to Executive:

     If to Bluegate:

     Bluegate Corporation
     Attn: Manfred Sternberg, Chief Executive Officer
     701 N. Post Oak Road, Suite 630
     Houston, Texas 77024

     Bluegate  has  caused  this  Agreement  to  be  executed by its officer and
     the Executive has signed this Agreement.

20.  SUCCESSORS, BINDING AGREEMENT.

     This  Agreement  is  binding  upon  Bluegate's  successors.  Bluegate  will
     require  any  successor  (whether  direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
     consolidation,  or  otherwise)  to all or substantially all of the business
     and/or  assets  of  Bluegate  to expressly assume and agree to perform this
     Agreement  in the same manner and to the same extent that Bluegate would be
     required to perform it as if no such succession had taken place. Failure of
     Bluegate to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness
     of any such succession shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.

     This  Agreement  shall  inure  to  the  benefit  of  both  Bluegate and its
     successors  and  assigns  and  the  Executive  and  his  personal  or legal
     representatives,  executors, administrators, heirs, distributes, successors
     and assigns
