         The Executive and the Company agree as follows:

1.       DUTIES.

1.1      RETENTION.  The  Company  does  hereby  hire,  engage,  and  employ the
         Executive  as the  Chief  Financial  Officer  of the  Company,  and the

         employment.  During the Period of Employment (as defined in Section 2),
         the Executive shall serve the Company in such position,  and shall have
         duties and authority  consistent with such position  (including primary
         general  authority  over the Company's  finance  department),  subject,
         however,  TO THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT,  DIRECTIVES OF THE

         DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY (THE "BOARD"),  and the corporate policies and
         budgets of the Company as they  presently  exist,  and as such policies
         and budgets may be amended,  modified,  changed,  or adopted during the
         Period of Employment.  During the Period of  Employment,  the Executive
         shall report to the CEO. The Executive  shall also serve as a member of
         the Board of Directors during the Period of Employment.

1.2      NO OTHER EMPLOYMENT. Throughout the Period of Employment, the Executive
         shall  devote  his  full  business  time,  energy,  and  skill  to  the
         performance  of his duties for the Company  (vacations  and other leave
         authorized  under this  Agreement  excepted)  and shall devote his best
         efforts to advancing the interests of the Company. The Executive agrees
         that any appointment to or continuing service on the board of directors
         of any  corporation  must be approved in writing by the  Company,  such
         approval not to be unreasonably withheld if the Company determines that
         such  appointment  should not  interfere  with the  performance  of THE
         Executive's  Duties  hereunder;  provided  that the  Company's  advance
         approval is not  required  for the  Executive  to serve on the board of
         directors or as an officer of any non-profit trade  association,  or of
         any non-profit civic,  educational or other charitable organization (in
         each case subject to the following sentence). The Executive's continued
         membership  on any board or in any  other  position  referenced  in the
         preceding  sentence,  on or in which he may now or in the future serve,

         is subject to the  conditions  (a) that the  Executive's  membership or
         position does not  materially  interfere  with the  performance  of the
         Executive's  duties  hereunder,  and (b) that the entity with which the
         Executive is affiliated does not compete (within the meaning of Section
         9,  without  giving  effect  to the  last  sentence  thereof)  with the
         business of any entity within the Company  Group.  For purposes of this
         Agreement, the "COMPANY GROUP" includes,  collectively, the Company and
         any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

         1.3 NO BREACH OF  CONTRACT.  The  Executive  hereby  represents  to the
         Company  that his  execution  and  delivery of this  Agreement  and the
         performance of his duties hereunder will not constitute a breach of, or
         otherwise contravene, the terms of any employment or other agreement or
         policy  to which  the  Executive  is a party or  otherwise  bound.  The
         Company  hereby  represents to the  Executive  that it is authorized to
         enter into this  Agreement  and that the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement  and the  employment  of the  Executive  hereunder  will  not
         constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene,  the terms of any law,

         Company will not  terminate  Executive in  anticipation  of a Change in

                  such termination; and

         (c)      all shares of Common Stock options granted to the Executive by
                  the  Company  during his  employment  term will  become  fully
                  vested.

         If a Change in  Control  results  in a  diminution  of the  Executive's
         senior  management  position,   responsibilities  or  compensation  and
         benefits as CFO,  in his  reporting  responsibility  to the CEO or in a

7.2      GENERAL TERMINATION PROVISIONS.

9.       NON-COMPETITION.

         The Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature
         of the  businesses  of the Company  Group,  the amount of sensitive and
         confidential  information  involved in the discharge of the Executive's
         position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and the harm to the
         Company  Group that would result if such  knowledge  or  expertise  was
         disclosed or made available to a competitor,  and accordingly agrees as
         follows:

         (a)   During  the  Period  of  Employment  and,  as  a  result  of  the
               particular  nature  of  the  Executive's  relationship  with  the
               Company  as its  Chief  Financial  Officer,  for the two (2) year
               period  immediately  following the  termination  of the Period of
               Employment,  the Executive will not, directly or indirectly,  (i)
               engage in any  business  for the  Executive's  own  account  that
               competes  with the  business  of any entity  within  the  Company
               Group,  (ii) enter the employ of, or render any  services to, any
               person engaged in any business that competes with the business of
               any entity  within the Company  Group,  (iii) acquire a financial
               interest in any person engaged in any business that competes with
               the business of any entity within the Company Group,  directly or
               indirectly,  as an  individual,  partner,  shareholder,  officer,
               director,  principal,  agent,  trustee  or  consultant,  or  (iv)
               interfere with business  relationships  (whether formed before or
               after the date of this Agreement) between the Company, any of its
               affiliates  or  subsidiaries,   and  any  customers,   suppliers,
               officers, employees, partners, members or investors of any entity
               within the Company Group.

         (b)   Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in this Agreement,  the
               Executive  may,  directly  or  indirectly,   own,  solely  as  an
               investment,  securities of any person  engaged in the business of
               the  Company or its  affiliates  which are  publicly  traded on a
               national or  regional  stock  exchange or on an  over-the-counter
               market if the Executive (i) is not a controlling  person of, or a
               member of a group which controls,  such person and (ii) does not,
               directly  or  indirectly,  own five  percent  (5%) or more of any
               class of securities of such person.

                                       8

         For purposes of this  Agreement,  businesses  in  competition  with the
         Company  Group shall mean (x)  businesses  which any entity  within the
         Company  Group has  specific  plans to  conduct in the future and as to
         which the Executive is aware of such planning.

10.      CONFIDENTIALITY.

         The  Executive  will  not at any time  (whether  during  or  after  his

         his own  benefit or  purposes  or the  benefit or purposes of any other
         person, firm, partnership,  joint venture, association,  corporation or
         other business organization,  entity or enterprise other than an entity
         then within the Company Group, any trade secrets, or other confidential
         data or information relating to customers, development programs, costs,
         marketing, trading, investment, sales activities, promotion, credit and
         financial data,  financing  methods,  or plans of any entity within the
         Company  Group;   provided  that  the  foregoing  shall  not  apply  to
         information  which is  generally  known to the  industry  or the public
         other than as a result of the Executive's breach of this covenant.  The
         Executive  agrees  that upon  termination  of his  employment  with the
         Company for any reason,  he will return to the Company  immediately all
         memoranda,  books, papers, plans, information,  letters and other data,
         and  all  copies  thereof  or  therefrom,  in any way  relating  to the
         business  of any entity  within the Company  Group,  except that he may
         retain  personal  notes,  notebooks  and  diaries  that do not  contain
         confidential  information  of  the  type  described  in  the  preceding
         sentence.  The Executive  further agrees that he will not retain or use
         for his  account  at any  time  any  trade  names,  trademark  or other
         proprietary  business  designation used or owned in connection with the
         business of any entity within the Company Group.

11.      ANTISOLICITATION; NO DISPARAGEMENT.

         The Executive  promises and agrees that during the Period of Employment
and for a period of two (2) years thereafter:

         (a)      he will not influence or attempt to influence customers of any
                  entity  within  the  Company  Group  (as it may  now or in the
                  future be composed),  either directly or indirectly, to divert
                  their business away from the Company Group to any  individual,
                  partnership,   firm,  corporation  or  other  entity  then  in
                  competition with the business of any entity within the Company
                  Group; and

         (b)      he will not  make  disparaging  statements,  whether  oral  or
                  written, regarding any entity within the Company Group.

12.      SOLICITING EMPLOYEES.

         The  Executive  promises  and  agrees  that  for a  period  of one year
         following  termination  of his  employment  he  will  not  directly  or

         of, or  related  to, the  business  of the  Company or the  Executive's
         services for the Company. The Company shall provide officers' liability
