payable therefor in connection with such Sale; and provided, further, that

Agreement.

      3.2 Termination for Cause or Voluntary Resignation. If Employee is

design, development, production, marketing and servicing with respect to its

during the period of Employee's employment by the Company.

            (c) The Company possesses and will continue to possess information

or contemplated business, products, intellectual property or processes) or in

Company, which information has commercial value in the business in which the
Company is engaged and is treated by the Company as confidential.

            (d) Any and all inventions, products, discoveries, improvements,
processes, manufacturing, marketing and services methods or techniques,
formulae, designs, styles, specifications, data bases, computer programs

or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made,
developed or created by Employee (whether at the request or suggestion of the

during regular hours of work or otherwise) during the period of Employee's
employment by the Company which pertains to the Company's actual or contemplated
business, products, intellectual property or processes (collectively hereinafter
referred to as "Developments"), shall be the sole property of the Company and
will be promptly and fully disclosed by Employee to the Company without any
additional compensation therefore, including, without limitation, all papers,
drawings, models, data, documents and other material pertaining to or in any way
relating to any Developments made, developed or created by Employee as
aforesaid. The Company shall own all right, title and interest in and to the

without further consideration, any and all right, title and interest in and to
the Developments to the Company, including any and all moral rights, and "shop

34
<PAGE>

by applicable law. Employee irrevocably agrees to execute any document requested
by the Company to give effect to this Section 5.1 such as assignment of
invention or other general assignments of intellectual property rights, without
additional compensation therefore.

            (e) Employee will keep confidential and will hold for the Company's
sole benefit any Development which is to be the exclusive property of the
Company under this Section 5.1 irrespective of whether any patent, copyright,
trademark or other right or protection is issued in connection therewith.

            (f) Employee also agrees that Employee will not, without the prior
approval of the President and CEO, use for Employee's benefit or disclose at any
time during Employee's employment by the Company, or thereafter, except to the
extent required by the performance by Employee of Employee's duties, any
information obtained or developed by Employee while in the employ of the Company
with respect to any Developments or with respect to any customers, clients,
suppliers, products, services, prices, Employees, financial affairs, or methods
of design, distribution, marketing, service, procurement or manufacture of the
Company or any confidential matter, except information which at the time is
generally known to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Employee
not permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not
constitute confidential information for purposes of this Agreement: (i)
information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of
disclosure by the Employee; (ii) information designated in writing by the
Company as no longer confidential; or (iii) information known by Employee as of
the date of this Agreement and identified as such in writing to the Company.
Employee will comply with all intellectual property disclosure policies
established by the Company from time to time with respect to the Company's
confidential information, including without respect to Developments.

warrants and covenants that Employee shall not disclose to the Company, or use,
or induce the Company to use, any proprietary information or trade secrets of
others at any time, including but not limited to any proprietary information or
trade secrets of any former employer, if any; and Employee acknowledges and
agrees that any violation of this provision shall be grounds for Employee's
immediate termination and could subject Employee to substantial civil
liabilities and criminal penalties. Employee further specifically and expressly
acknowledges that no officer or other employee or representative of the Company
has requested or instructed Employee to disclose or use any such third party
proprietary information or trade secrets.

      5.3 Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges and agrees that a remedy at
law for any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 5
would be inadequate and, therefore, agrees that the Company shall be entitled to
injunctive relief in addition to any other available rights and remedies in case
of any such breach or threatened breach.

6.    LIMITED AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE OR SOLICIT.

      6.1 Non-Competition. During the term of this Agreement, and for 12 months
after the termination of Employee's employment with the Company for any reason,
unless mutually agreed otherwise by the Employee and the Company, Employee shall
not, directly or indirectly, work in the capacity of designing or building video
services, whether as an employee, consultant, agent, principal, partner,
manager, officer, or director, for any person or entity who or which engages in
a substantially similar business as the Company. For purposes of this Agreement
the Company is currently engaged in the business of designing, developing,
providing and selling video communication services.

      6.2 Non-Solicitation. Employee shall not, during his employment and for a
period of 12 months immediately after termination of his employment, for any
reason, either directly or indirectly: (a) call on or solicit for similar
services, or, encourage or take away any of the Company's customers or potential
customers about whom Employee became aware or with whom Employee had contact as
a result of Employee's employment with the Company, either for benefit of
Employee or for any other person or entity; or (b) solicit, induce, recruit, or
encourage any of the Company's employees or contractors to leave the employ of
the Company or cease providing services to the Company on behalf of the Employee
or on behalf of any other person or entity; or (c) hire for himself or any other
person or entity any employee who was employed or engaged by the Company within
six months prior to the termination of Employee's employment.

      6.3 Limitations; Remedies. The Employee further agrees that the
limitations set forth in this Section 6 (including, without limitation, any time
or territorial limitations) are reasonable and properly required for the
adequate protection of the businesses of the Company. The Employee agrees that
the lack of territorial limit is reasonable given the global reach of the
Company. If any of the restrictions contained in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 are deemed
by a court or arbitrator to be unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration
or geographic scope thereof, or otherwise, then the parties agree that such
court or arbitrator may modify such restriction to the extent necessary to
render it enforceable and enforce such restriction in its modified form. The
Employee acknowledges and agrees that a remedy at law for any breach or
threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6 would be inadequate and,
therefore, agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in
addition to any other available rights and remedies in cases of any such breach
or threatened breach.

7.    ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

      The Company and Employee mutually agree that any controversy or claim
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, or any other
dispute between the parties arising from or related to Employee's employment
with the Company, shall be submitted to mediation before a mutually agreeable
mediator. In the event mediation is unsuccessful in resolving the claim or
controversy, such claim or controversy shall be resolved by arbitration

      Company and Employee agree that arbitration shall be held in Union County,
New Jersey, before a mutually agreed upon single arbitrator licensed to practice
law. The arbitrator shall have authority to award or grant legal, equitable, and
declaratory relief. Such arbitration shall be final and binding on the parties.
If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the matter may be submitted
to the American Arbitration Association solely for appointment of an arbitrator.

36

plan specifies that its claims procedure shall culminate in an arbitration

state, or other law, statute, regulation, or ordinance, except claims excluded
in the following paragraph. The parties hereby waive any rights they may have to
trial by jury in regard to Arbitrable Claims.

      Claims Employee may have for Workers' Compensation State disability or
unemployment compensation benefits are not covered by this Agreement. Also not
covered is either party's right to obtain provisional remedies, or interim
relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.

      Arbitration under this Agreement shall be the exclusive remedy for all
Arbitrable Claims. This agreement to mediate and arbitrate shall survive
termination of Employee's employment.

8.    AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS; REMEDIES.

      This Agreement may not be amended or waived except by a writing signed by
Employee and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. Failure to
exercise any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such
right. Any waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver
of any subsequent breaches. All rights or remedies specified for a party herein
shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies of the
party hereunder or under applicable law.

9.    ASSIGNMENT; BINDING EFFECT.

      9.1 Assignment. The performance of Employee is personal hereunder, and
Employee agrees that Employee shall have no right to assign and shall not assign
or purport to assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement. This
Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Company; and nothing in this
Agreement shall prevent the consolidation, merger or sale of the Company or a
sale of any or all or substantially all of its assets.

      9.2 Binding Effect. Subject to the foregoing restriction on assignment by
Employee, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each
of the parties; the affiliates, officers, directors, agents, successors and
assigns of the Company; and the heirs, devisees, spouses, legal representatives
and successors of Employee.

10.   SEVERABILITY.

      If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court or arbitrator
to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, such provision shall be enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law, and the remainder of this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect. In the event that the time period or scope of
any provision is declared by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to
exceed the maximum time period or scope that such court or arbitrator deems
enforceable, then such court or arbitrator shall reduce the time period or scope
to the maximum time period or scope permitted by law.

11.   TAXES.

      All amounts paid under this Agreement (including without limitation Base
Salary) shall be reduced by all applicable state and federal tax withholdings
and any other withholdings required by any applicable jurisdiction.

without limitation all equipment, tangible proprietary information, documents,
records, notes, contracts and computer-generated materials) furnished to or
created or prepared by Employee incident to Employee's employment belongs to the
Company and shall be promptly returned to the Company upon termination of
Employee's employment.

      4.2 Cooperation. Following any termination of employment, Employee shall
cooperate with the Company in the winding up of pending work on behalf of the

5.    INVENTIONS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION; PROHIBITION ON THIRD PARTY
      INFORMATION.

      5.1 Proprietary Information. Employee hereby covenants, agrees and
acknowledges as follows:

            (a) The Company is engaged in a continuous program of research,
design, development, production, marketing and servicing with respect to its
business.

            (b) Employee's employment hereunder creates a relationship of
confidence and trust between Employee and the Company with respect to certain
information pertaining to the business of the Company or pertaining to the
business of any customer of the Company which may be made known to the Employee
by the Company or by any customer of the Company or learned by the Employee
during the period of Employee's employment by the Company.

            (c) The Company possesses and will continue to possess information
that has been created, discovered or developed by, or otherwise becomes known to
it (including, without limitation, information created, discovered or developed
by, or made known to, Employee during the period of Employee's employment or
arising out of Employee's employment and which pertains to the Company's actual
or contemplated business, products, intellectual property or processes) or in
which property rights have been or may be assigned or otherwise conveyed to the
Company, which information has commercial value in the business in which the
Company is engaged and is treated by the Company as confidential.

            (d) Any and all inventions, products, discoveries, improvements,
processes, manufacturing, marketing and services methods or techniques,
formulae, designs, styles, specifications, data bases, computer programs
(whether in source code or object code), know-how, strategies and data, whether
or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made,

41
<PAGE>

by the Company which pertains to the Company's actual or contemplated business,
products, intellectual property or processes (collectively hereinafter referred
to as "Developments"), shall be the sole property of the Company and will be
promptly and fully disclosed by Employee to the Board without any additional
compensation therefore, including, without limitation, all papers, drawings,
models, data, documents and other material pertaining to or in any way relating
to any Developments made, developed or created by Employee as aforesaid. The
Company shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Developments and
such Developments shall be considered "works made for hire" for the Company
under US Copyright Law. If any of the Developments are held for any reason not
to be "works made for hire" for the Company or if ownership of all right, title
and interest in and to the Developments has not vested exclusively and
immediately in the Company upon creation, Employee irrevocably assigns, without
further consideration, any and all right, title and interest in and to the
Developments to the Company, including any and all moral rights, and "shop
rights" in the Developments recognized by applicable law. Employee irrevocably
agrees to execute any document requested by the Company to give effect to this
Section 5.1 such as assignment of invention or other general assignments of
intellectual property rights, without additional compensation therefore.

            (e) Employee will keep confidential and will hold for the Company's
sole benefit any Development which is to be the exclusive property of the
Company under this Section 5.1 irrespective of whether any patent, copyright,
trademark or other right or protection is issued in connection therewith.

            (f) Employee also agrees that Employee will not, without the prior
approval of the President and CEO, use for Employee's benefit or disclose at any
time during Employee's employment by the Company, or thereafter, except to the
extent required by the performance by Employee of Employee's duties, any
information obtained or developed by Employee while in the employ of the Company
with respect to any Developments or with respect to any customers, clients,
suppliers, products, services, prices, Employees, financial affairs, or methods
of design, distribution, marketing, service, procurement or manufacture of the
Company or any confidential matter, except information which at the time is
generally known to the public other than as a result of disclosure by Employee
not permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not
constitute confidential information for purposes of this Agreement: (i)
information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of
disclosure by the Employee; (ii) information designated in writing by the
Company as no longer confidential; or (iii) information known by Employee as of
the date of this Agreement and identified as such in writing to the Board.
Employee will comply with all intellectual property disclosure policies
established by the Company from time to time with respect to the Company's
confidential information, including without respect to Developments.

      5.2 Non-Disclosure of Third Party Information. Employee represents and
warrants and covenants that Employee shall not disclose to the Company, or use,
or induce the Company to use, any proprietary information or trade secrets of
others at any time, including but not limited to any proprietary information or
trade secrets of any former employer, if any; and Employee acknowledges and
agrees that any violation of this provision shall be grounds for Employee's
immediate termination and could subject Employee to substantial civil
liabilities and criminal

42
<PAGE>

penalties. Employee further specifically and expressly acknowledges that no
officer or other employee or representative of the Company has requested or
instructed Employee to disclose or use any such third party proprietary
information or trade secrets.

      5.3 Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges and agrees that a remedy at
law for any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 5
would be inadequate and, therefore, agrees that the Company shall be entitled to
injunctive relief in addition to any other available rights and remedies in case
of any such breach or threatened breach.

6.    LIMITED AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE OR SOLICIT.

      6.1 Non-Competition. During the term of this Agreement, and for 12 months
after the termination of Employee's employment with the Company for any reason,
unless mutually agreed otherwise by the Employee and the Company, Employee shall
not, directly or indirectly, work as an employee, consultant, agent, principal,
partner, manager, officer, or director for any person or entity who or which
engages in a substantially similar business as the Company. For purposes of this
Agreement the Company is currently engaged in the business of designing,
developing, providing and selling video communication services.

      6.2 Non-Solicitation. Employee shall not, during his employment and for a
period of 12 months immediately after termination of his employment, for any
reason, either directly or indirectly: (a) call on or solicit for similar
services, or, encourage or take away any of the Company's customers or potential
customers about whom Employee became aware or with whom Employee had contact as
a result of Employee's employment with the Company, either for benefit of
Employee or for any other person or entity; or (b) solicit, induce, recruit, or
encourage any of the Company's employees or contractors to leave the employ of
the Company or cease providing services to the Company on behalf of the Employee
or on behalf of any other person or entity; or (c) hire for himself or any other
person or entity any employee who was employed or engaged by the Company within
six months prior to the termination of Employee's employment.

      6.3 Limitations; Remedies. The Employee further agrees that the
limitations set forth in this Section 6 (including, without limitation, any time
or territorial limitations) are reasonable and properly required for the
adequate protection of the businesses of the Company. The Employee agrees that
the lack of territorial limit is reasonable given the global reach of the
Company. If any of the restrictions contained in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 are deemed
by a court or arbitrator to be unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration
or geographic scope thereof, or otherwise, then the parties agree that such
court or arbitrator may modify such restriction to the extent necessary to
render it enforceable and enforce such restriction in its modified form. The
Employee acknowledges and agrees that a remedy at law for any breach or
threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6 would be inadequate and,
therefore, agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in
addition to any other available rights and remedies in cases of any such breach
or threatened breach.

7.    ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

      The Company and Employee mutually agree that any controversy or claim
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, or any other
dispute between the parties arising from or related to Employee's employment
with the Company, shall be submitted to mediation before a mutually agreeable
mediator. In the event mediation is unsuccessful in resolving the claim or
controversy, such claim or controversy shall be resolved by arbitration

      Company and Employee agree that arbitration shall be held in Union County,
New Jersey, before a mutually agreed upon single arbitrator licensed to practice
law. The arbitrator shall have authority to award or grant legal, equitable, and
declaratory relief. Such arbitration shall be final and binding on the parties.
If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the matter may be submitted
to the American Arbitration Association solely for appointment of an arbitrator.

      The claims covered by this Agreement ("Arbitrable Claims") include, but
are not limited to, claims for wages or other compensation due; claims for
breach of any contract (including this Agreement) or covenant (express or
implied); tort claims; claims for discrimination (including, but not limited to,
race, sex, religion, national origin,

43
<PAGE>

age, marital status, medical condition, or disability); claims for benefits
(except where an employee benefit or pension plan specifies that its claims
procedure shall culminate in an arbitration procedure different from this one);
and claims for violation of any federal, state, or other law, statute,
regulation, or ordinance, except claims excluded in the following paragraph. The
parties hereby waive any rights they may have to trial by jury in regard to
Arbitrable Claims.

      Claims Employee may have for Workers' Compensation State disability or
unemployment compensation benefits are not covered by this Agreement. Also not
covered is either party's right to obtain provisional remedies, or interim
relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.

      Arbitration under this Agreement shall be the exclusive remedy for all
Arbitrable Claims. This agreement to mediate and arbitrate survives termination
of Employee's employment.

8.    AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS; REMEDIES.

      This Agreement may not be amended or waived except by a writing signed by
Employee and by a duly authorized representative of the Company. Failure to
exercise any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such
right. Any waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver
of any subsequent breaches. All rights or remedies specified for a party herein
shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies of the
party hereunder or under applicable law.

9.    ASSIGNMENT; BINDING EFFECT.

      9.1 Assignment. The performance of Employee is personal hereunder, and
Employee agrees that Employee shall have no right to assign and shall not assign
or purport to assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement. This
Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Company; and nothing in this
Agreement shall prevent the consolidation, merger or sale of the Company or a
sale of any or all or substantially all of its assets.

      9.2 Binding Effect. Subject to the foregoing restriction on assignment by
Employee, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each
of the parties; the affiliates, officers, directors, agents, successors and
assigns of the Company; and the heirs, devisees, spouses, legal representatives
and successors of Employee.

10.   SEVERABILITY.

      If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court or arbitrator
to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, such provision shall be enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law, and the remainder of this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect. In the event that the time period or scope of
any provision is declared by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to
exceed the maximum time period or scope that such court or arbitrator deems
enforceable, then such court or arbitrator shall reduce the time period or scope
to the maximum time period or scope permitted by law.

11.   TAXES.

      All amounts paid under this Agreement (including without limitation Base
Salary) shall be reduced by all applicable state and federal tax withholdings
and any other withholdings required by any applicable jurisdiction.
