                  eligible for annual review by the Board beginning with

                  have earned and be eligible for such bonus, provided, however,
                  that if the Executive is terminated without Cause, as defined

property, whether or not patentable or copyrightable (collectively,
"Inventions"), conceived or first reduced to practice by the Executive, either
alone or jointly with others, while performing services hereunder (or, if based
on any Confidential Information, at any time during or after the Term), (a)
which pertain to any line of business activity of the Company, whether then
conducted or then being actively planned by the Company, with which the
Executive was or is involved, (b) which is developed using time, material or
facilities of the Company, whether or not during working hours or on the Company
premises, or (c) which directly relates to any of the Executive's work during
the Term, whether or not during normal working hours. The Executive hereby
assigns to the Company all of the Executive's right, title and interest in and
to any such Inventions. During and after the Term, the Executive shall execute
any documents necessary to perfect the assignment of such Inventions to the
Company and to enable the Company to apply for, obtain and enforce patents,

which shall be owned solely, completely and exclusively by the Company. If any
Invention is considered to be work not included in the categories of work
covered by the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. ss. 101, as amended, such
work is hereby assigned or transferred completely and exclusively to the
Company. The Executive hereby irrevocably designates counsel to the Company as

Rights exist, the Executive hereby waives such Moral Rights and consents to any
action of the Company that would violate such Moral Rights in the absence of

time to time as requested by the Company.

VI.      Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

         The Executive acknowledges that the Company has invested substantial
time, money and resources in the development and retention of its Inventions,
Confidential Information (including trade secrets), customers, accounts and
business partners, and further acknowledges that during the course of the
Executive's employment with the Company the Executive will have access to the

partners of the Company. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the
Company's business is international in scope. The Executive acknowledges and
agrees that any and all "goodwill" associated with any existing or prospective
customer, account or business partner belongs exclusively to the Company,
including, but not limited to, any goodwill created as a result of direct or
indirect contacts or relationships between the Executive and any existing or
prospective customers, accounts or business partners. Additionally, the parties
acknowledge and agree that the Executive possesses skills that are special,
unique or extraordinary and that the value of the Company depends, in great
part, upon his use of such skills on its behalf.

         In recognition of this, the Executive covenants and agrees that:

                  Services and the Executive has no business communications with
                  employees of any division, subsidiary or affiliate of the
                  Competitor that offers Competitive Services regarding the
                  business of the competitive division, subsidiary or affiliate

                  merger, he is participating in the business of a separately
                  managed and operated division, subsidiary or affiliate of the
                  Competitor that does not offer Competitive Services and he has
                  no business communications with employees of any division,
                  subsidiary or affiliate of the Competitor that offers
                  Competitive Services regarding the business of the competitive
                  division, subsidiary or affiliate.

         B.       During the Term, other than in the course of the proper
                  performance of his duties hereunder, and for a period of one
                  (1) year thereafter, the Executive may not knowingly, directly
                  or indirectly through another individual or individuals,
                  entice, solicit or encourage any Company employee to leave the
                  employ of the Company or any independent contractor to sever
                  its engagement with the Company, absent prior written consent
                  to do so from the Board.

         C.       During the Term, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter,
                  the Executive may not knowingly, directly or indirectly
                  through another individual or individuals, entice, solicit or
                  encourage any customer, prospective customer, vendor,
                  strategic partner or business associate of the Company (i) to
                  cease doing business with the Company, reduce its relationship
                  with the Company or refrain from establishing or expanding a
                  relationship with the Company or (ii) for the purpose of
                  offering Competitive Services. For purposes of this Agreement,
                  "prospective customer" shall mean those businesses to whom the
                  Company submitted a written proposal to perform services
                  during the Term.

VII.     Non-Disparagement.

         A.       The Executive hereby agrees that during the Term, and for a
                  period of one (1) year thereafter, the Executive will not
                  intentionally make any public statement that is disparaging
                  about the Company or any of its officers or directors,
                  including, but not limited to, any public statement that
                  disparages the products, services, finances, financial
                  condition, capabilities or other aspect of the business of the
                  Company.

         B.       The Company hereby agrees that during the Term and for a
                  period of one (1) year thereafter its officers and directors
                  will not intentionally make any public statement that is
                  disparaging about the Executive, including, but not limited
                  to, any statement that disparages the services, capabilities,
                  performance or any other aspect of the Executive's
                  relationship with the Company.

         C.       This Section 7 shall not prevent any person or entity subject
                  to it from responding publicly to incorrect or disparaging
                  public statements made in violation of this Section 7 to the
                  extent reasonably necessary to correct or refute such public
                  statements or from making truthful statements when necessary
                  to enforce this Agreement or required by applicable law, by a
                  court of law or an arbitrator, by any governmental agency
                  having supervisory authority over the business of the Company
                  or by any administrative or legislative body (including a
                  committee thereof) with jurisdiction to do so.

VIII.    Provisions Necessary and Reasonable.

         A.       The Executive agrees that

                  1.       the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this
                           Agreement are necessary and reasonable to protect the
                           Company's Confidential Information, Inventions, and
                           goodwill;

                  2.       the specific temporal, geographic and substantive
                           provisions set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement
                           are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company's
                           business interests in part because the Company's
                           business is international in scope; and

                  3.       in the event of any breach of any of the covenants
                           set forth herein, the Company would suffer
                           substantial irreparable harm and would not have an
                           adequate remedy at law for such breach. In
                           recognition of the foregoing, the Executive agrees
                           that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of
                           any of these covenants, in addition to such other
                           remedies as the Company may have at law, without
                           posting any bond or security, the Company shall be
                           entitled to seek equitable relief, in the form of
                           specific performance, and/or temporary, preliminary
                           or permanent injunctive relief, or any other
                           equitable remedy which then may be available. The
                           seeking of such injunction or order shall not affect
                           the Company's right to seek and obtain damages or
                           other equitable relief on account of any such actual
                           or threatened breach.

         B.       If any of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7
                  hereof, or any part thereof, is hereafter construed to be
                  invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the
                  remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be given
                  full effect without regard to the invalid portions.

         C.       If any of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7
                  hereof, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable by a
                  court of competent jurisdiction because of the temporal or
                  geographic scope of such provision or the area covered
                  thereby, the Parties agree that the court making such
                  determination shall have the power to reduce the duration
                  and/or geographic area of such provision and, in its reduced
                  form, such provision shall be enforceable.

IX.      Representations.

         A.       Representations by the Executive.

                  1.       The Executive represents that the Executive has no
                           agreement or other legal obligation with any prior
                           employer, or any other person or entity, that
                           restricts the Executive's ability to accept
                           employment, or to perform any function for, the
                           Company.

<PAGE>

                  2.       The Executive has been advised by the Company that at
                           no time should the Executive divulge to or use for
                           the benefit of the Company any trade secret or
                           confidential or proprietary information of any
                           previous employer; the Executive expressly
                           acknowledges that the Executive has not to the best
                           of his knowledge divulged or used any such
                           information for the benefit of the Company.

                  3.       The Executive acknowledges that the Executive has not
                           and will not knowingly misappropriate any Invention
                           that the Executive played any part in creating while
                           working for any former employer.

                  4.       The Executive acknowledges that the Company is basing
                           important business decisions on these
                           representations, and affirms that all of the
                           statements included herein are true to the best of
                           his knowledge.

         B.       Representations by the Company.

                  1.       The Company represents that it is fully authorized by
                           all necessary action of its Board and any other body,
                           entity or person whose action is required to enter
                           into this Agreement and to perform its obligations
                           under it and will, in a reasonably prompt manner,
                           take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to
                           allow performance of all obligations hereunder.

                  2.       The Company acknowledges that the Executive has
                           relied upon such representations in entering into
                           this Agreement.

X.       Termination and Severance; Change of Control.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement, the
Executive's employment hereunder may terminate under the following
circumstances:

         A.       Termination by the Company for Cause.

         1.       The Company may terminate the Executive's employment under
                  this Agreement for Cause at any time, subject to the
                  requirements of Section 10(a)(ii) below. For purposes of this
                  Agreement, "Cause" is defined as (A) the Executive's willful
                  and material breach of the terms of this Agreement; (B) the
                  Executive's commission of any felony or any crime involving
                  moral turpitude; (C) willful gross neglect or willful
                  misconduct by the Executive in connection with his position
                  hereunder; or (D) the Executive's willful refusal to perform
                  his duties hereunder.

         2.       A termination for Cause shall not take effect unless the
                  provisions of this Section 10(a)(ii) are compiled with. The
                  Executive shall be given written notification by the Company
                  of the termination for Cause, such notification to state in
                  reasonable detail the grounds on which the proposed
                  termination for Cause is based. Such written notification
                  shall be given within (90) days of the CEO learning of the
                  grounds for such Termination. The Executive shall be given ten
                  (10) calendar days' written notice and one opportunity to cure
                  prior to a termination for Cause pursuant to Section
                  10(a)(i)(D).

                                       9

         3.       Upon the termination for Cause of Executive's employment (A)
                  the Executive shall be entitled to Salary earned under this
                  Agreement prior to the date of termination, any earned but
                  unpaid bonus, and any accrued but unused vacation; and (B) any
                  unvested stock options shall be forfeited, provided however
                  that if the basis for termination of Executive's employment
                  constitutes Misconduct under the relevant Stock Option
                  Agreements referred to above, then any unvested stock option
                  shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.

         B.       Termination by the Company Without Cause. The Executive's
                  employment under this Agreement may be terminated without
                  Cause (other than owing to death or Disability) by the
                  Company, provided, however, that if the Company terminates the
                  Executive's employment without Cause, or the Executive
                  terminates his employment for Good Reason, as defined below,
                  the Executive shall be entitled to:

                  1.       Salary through the date of termination;

                  2.       a lump sum payment equal to Salary for a period of 6
                           months, at the annualized rate in effect on the date
                           of termination, payable as provided for in Exhibit A
                           hereto;

                  3.       all outstanding options scheduled to vest within the
                           one-year period following termination shall
                           immediately become fully vested and exercisable and
                           all vested options shall remain exercisable through
                           the end of their originally scheduled terms before
                           such termination;

                  4.       continuation health coverage for the Executive and
                           any eligible dependents covered as of the effective
                           date of the termination, pursuant to COBRA, at the
                           Company's expense for a period of 6 months; and

                  5.       if such termination occurs after June 30 and the
                           Company is projected to meet the revenue targets
                           established pursuant to Section 3(B) above (based on
                           an extrapolation of revenue figures for the partial
                           year over a full year), then the Executive shall
                           receive a pro-rata bonus payment based on a target of
                           100% of the Salary and the number of full months of
                           the calendar year worked prior to such termination.

                  As a condition of receiving severance benefits pursuant to
this Section 10(B) or Sections 10(C) or 10(G), the Executive shall execute and
deliver to the Company prior to his receipt of such benefits a general release
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

                                       10

                  C.       Termination by the Executive. The Executive may
                           terminate his employment hereunder upon thirty days
                           (30) days' written notice to the Company.

                  1.       In the event of termination by the Executive of his
                           employment hereunder pursuant to this subsection
                           10(c) other than for Good Reason, (y) the Company may
                           accelerate the termination date provided it pays the
                           Executive during the 30-day notice period provided
                           for in the previous sentence (or for any remaining
                           portion of that period) the Salary and benefits at
                           the rate of compensation the Executive was receiving
                           immediately before such notice of termination was
                           tendered in lieu of actual notice and (z) the
                           Executive shall have the same entitlements as under
                           Section 10(a)(iii) above.

                  2.       The Executive may also terminate his employment
                           hereunder for "Good Reason." For purposes of this
                           Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean termination by
                           the Executive of his employment following the
                           occurrence of any of the following events without his
                           consent:

                           a.       a material breach of this Agreement by the
                                    Company;

                           b.       a change in the Executive's reporting
                                    relationship so that he no longer reports
                                    directly to the CEO;

                           c.       the failure of the Company to obtain the
                                    assumption in writing of its obligation to
                                    perform this Agreement by any successor to
                                    all or substantially all of the assets of
                                    the Company within a reasonable period after
                                    a merger, consolidation, sale or similar
                                    transaction; or

                           d.       a relocation of the Executive's principal
                                    worksite to a location 25 miles or more from
                                    the location of the Company's principal
                                    offices as of the Effective Date.

Provided, however, that the Executive must deliver to the Company written notice
of his intention to terminate his employment with Good Reason within thirty (30)
days following the Executive's discovery of the event or events constituting the
grounds for the termination, and the Company shall have thirty (30) days
following its receipt of such notice to cure such grounds prior to the
effectiveness of such termination.

                  3.       In the event the Executive terminates his employment
                           under this Agreement for Good Reason, he shall have
                           the same entitlements as under Section 10(b) above.

         D.       Death. In the event of the Executive's death during the Term,
                  the Executive's employment hereunder shall immediately and
                  automatically terminate, and the Company shall have no further
                  obligation or duty to the Executive or his estate or
                  beneficiaries other than for the Salary earned under this
                  Agreement to the date of termination, any payments or benefits
                  due under Company policies or benefit plans and, in the case
                  of the Executive's death occurring during the months of July
                  through December of any given calendar year, a pro rata
                  portion of the Annual Bonus for that calendar year.

         E.       Disability. The Company may terminate the Executive's
                  employment hereunder, upon written notice to the Executive, in
                  the event that the Executive becomes disabled during the Term
                  through any condition of either a physical or psychological
                  nature and, as a result, is, with or without reasonable
                  accommodation, unable to perform the essential functions of
                  the services contemplated hereunder for (a) a period of ninety
                  (90) consecutive days, or (b) for shorter periods aggregating
                  one hundred twenty (120) days during any twelve (12) month
                  period during the Term. Any such termination shall become
                  effective upon mailing or hand delivery of notice that the
                  Company has elected its right to terminate under this
                  subsection 10(e), and the Company shall have no further
                  obligation or duty to the Executive other than for salary
                  earned under this Agreement prior to the date of termination,
                  any payments or benefits due under Company policies or benefit
                  plans and, in the case of termination hereunder occurring
                  during the months of July through December of any given
                  calendar year, a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus for that
                  calendar year.

         F.       Effect of Non-Renewal. In the event that the Company gives
                  notice of its election not to extend the Term of the Agreement
                  for a Renewal Period pursuant to Section 2 above, the Company
                  shall continue to pay the Executive full compensation as
                  defined in Section 3 of this Agreement from the date the
                  Executive receives such notice through the Expiration Date.
                  The Executive shall not be entitled to any additional
                  compensation other than any payments or benefits due under
                  Company policies or benefit plans.

         G.       Change of Control. In the event a Change in Control or Hostile
                  Takeover, as defined in the Plan (collectively a "Change of
                  Control"), occurs on or before September 19, 2003, Fifty
                  Percent (50%) of any unvested stock options granted to the
                  Executive shall accelerate and vest in full immediately and
                  the Repurchase Right shall lapse as to 50% of the Restricted
                  Stock to which it then applies prior to the Change of Control,
                  provided the Executive remains employed by the Company on the
                  date of such Change of Control. Any remaining unvested stock
                  options granted to the Executive shall vest, and the Company's
                  Repurchase Right shall lapse, in equal monthly installments
                  over a period of twelve months from the date of the Change of
                  Control, provided the Executive remains employed by the
                  Company on such vesting dates. If (i) the Executive is
                  terminated other than for Cause, Disability or death, or (ii)
                  he terminates his employment for Good Reason, within 60 days
                  prior to the announcement of a Change of Control or within
                  twelve months from the effective date of the Change of
                  Control, then (x) all unvested stock options granted to the
                  Executive shall accelerate and vest in full, and (y) Executive
                  shall receive a lump sum payment equal to Salary for a period
                  of 6 months, at the annualized rate in effect on the date of
                  termination. Such payments shall be in addition to any payment
                  owed pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10. If a Change
                  of Control occurs after September 19, 2003, then all unvested
                  stock options and Restricted Stock granted to the Executive
                  shall accelerate and vest in full immediately prior to the
                  Change of Control, provided the Executive remains employed by
                  the Company on the date of such Change of Control.

XI.      Choice of Law.

         The Executive acknowledges that a substantial portion of the Company's
business is based out of and directed from the State of New York. The Executive
also acknowledges that during the course of the Executive's employment with the
Company the Executive will have substantial contacts with New York.

         The validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal law of New York,
without giving effect to conflicts of law principles. Both Parties agree that
the exclusive venue for any action, demand, claim or counterclaim relating to
the terms and provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement, or to
their breach, shall be in the state or federal courts located in the State and
County of New York and that such courts shall have personal jurisdiction over
the Parties to this Agreement.

XII.     Miscellaneous.

         A.       Assignment.

                  1.       This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure
                           to the benefit of the Company, its successors and
                           assigns. Rights or obligations of the Company under
                           this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the
                           Company pursuant to a merger or consolidation in
                           which the Company is not the continuing entity, or
                           the sale or liquidation of all or substantially all
                           of the assets of the Company, provided that the
                           assignee or transferee is the successor to all or
                           substantially all of the assets of the Company and
                           such assignee or transferee assumes the liabilities,
                           obligations and duties of the Company, as contained
                           in this Agreement, either contractually or as a
                           matter of law. The Company further agrees that, in
                           the event of a sale of assets or liquidation as
                           described in the preceding sentence, it shall take
                           whatever action it reasonably can in order to cause
                           such assignee or transferee expressly to assume the
                           liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company
                           hereunder. The term the "Company" as used herein
                           shall include such successors and assigns. Neither
                           this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder
                           shall be assignable or transferable by the Executive,
                           his beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by
                           will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

                  2.       The Executive shall be entitled, to the extent
                           permitted under any applicable law, to select and
                           change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any
                           compensation or benefit payable hereunder following
                           the Executive's death by giving the Company written
                           notice thereof. In the event of the Executive's death
                           or a judicial determination of his incompetence,
                           references in this Agreement to the Executive shall
                           be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his
                           beneficiaries, estate or other legal representative.

         B.       Withholding. All salary and bonus payments required to be made
                  by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be
                  subject to withholding taxes, social security and other
                  payroll deductions in accordance with the Company's policies
                  applicable to employees of the Company at the Executive's
                  level.

         C.       Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided
                  for herein, this Agreement sets forth the entire agreement
                  between the Parties and supersedes any prior communications,
                  agreements and understandings, written or oral, with respect
                  to the terms and conditions of the Executive's employment. In
                  the event of any inconsistency between any provision of this
                  Agreement and any provision of any written plan, employee
                  handbook or personnel manual of the Company or any of its
                  affiliates, the provisions of this Agreement shall control
                  unless the Executive otherwise agrees in a writing which
                  expressly refers to the provision of this Agreement whose
                  control he is waiving.

         D.       Amendments. Any attempted modification of this Agreement will
                  not be effective unless signed by an authorized officer of the
                  Company and the Executive.

         E.       Waiver of Breach. No waiver by either Party of any breach by
                  the other Party of any condition or provision contained in
                  this Agreement to be performed by such other Party shall be
                  deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or
                  provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any
                  waiver must be in writing and signed by the Executive or an
                  authorized officer of the Company, as the case may be. The
                  Executive understands that a breach by him of any provision of
                  this Agreement may only be waived by an authorized officer of
                  the Company.

         F.       Severability. If any provision of this Agreement should, for
                  any reason, be held invalid or unenforceable in any respect by
                  a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this
                  Agreement, and the application of such provision in
                  circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared
                  invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected, and each such
                  provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to
                  the fullest extent permitted by law.

         G.       Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other
                  communications provided for by this Agreement shall be in
                  writing and shall be effective when delivered by private
                  messenger, private overnight mail service, or, if to the
                  Company, by facsimile (with confirmation in writing) as
                  follows (or to such other address as either Party shall
                  designate by notice in writing to the other in accordance
                  herewith):

         H.       Survival. The Executive and the Company agree that certain
                  provisions of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or
                  termination of this Agreement and the termination of the
                  Executive's employment with the Company. Such provisions shall
                  be limited to those within this Agreement which, by their
                  express or implied terms, obligate either Party to perform any
                  obligation, or create an entitlement that runs beyond the
                  termination of the Executive's employment or termination of
                  this Agreement.

         I.       Indemnification. The Executive shall be entitled to all rights
                  of indemnification as provided for in the Company's

                  effect and/or applicable insurance policies.

         J.       Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company and the Executive each
                  irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury in any action,
                  suit or other legal proceeding arising under or relating to
                  any provision of this Agreement.

         K.       Rights of Other Individuals. Except as otherwise provided in
                  this Agreement, this Agreement confers rights solely on the
                  Executive and the Company. This Agreement is not a benefit
                  plan and confers no rights on any individual or entity other
                  than the undersigned.

         L.       Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall
                  prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future
                  participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan
                  or program provided by the Company and for which the Executive
                  may qualify by the express terms of such benefit, bonus,
                  incentive or other plan or program, nor shall anything herein
                  limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may
                  have under any other written agreements with the Company or
                  any of its affiliated companies which are signed by an
                  authorized officer of the Company.

         M.       No Mitigation; No Offset. In the event of any termination of
                  his employment hereunder, the Executive shall be under no
                  obligation to seek other employment nor shall any amounts due
                  him pursuant to Section 10(b) or Section 10(g) be offset by
                  any other compensation received by the Executive.

         N.       Headings. The Parties acknowledge that the headings in this
                  Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not
                  control or affect the meaning or construction of this

         O.       Advice of Counsel. The Executive and the Company hereby
                  acknowledge that each Party has had adequate opportunity to
                  review this Agreement, to obtain the advice of counsel with

                  arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing
                  party in the event of a litigation shall be entitled to
                  recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs.

         Q.       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more

                  WHEREAS, Employee was hired by the Company on or about

possession or control, shall be returned to and left with the Company.

5.       Inventions Discovered by Executive.

         The Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company any invention,
improvement, discovery, process, formula, or method or other intellectual
property, whether or not patentable or copyrightable (collectively,
"Inventions"), conceived or first reduced to practice by the Executive, either
alone or jointly with others, while performing services hereunder (or, if based
on any Confidential Information, at any time during or after the Term), (a)
which pertain to any line of business activity of the Company, whether then
conducted or then being actively planned by the Company, with which the
Executive was or is involved, (b) which is developed using time, material or
facilities of the Company, whether or not during working hours or on the Company
premises, or (c) which directly relates to any of the Executive's work during
the Term, whether or not during normal working hours. The Executive hereby
assigns to the Company all of the Executive's right, title and interest in and
to any such Inventions. During and after the Term, the Executive shall execute
any documents necessary to perfect the assignment of such Inventions to the
Company and to enable the Company to apply for, obtain and enforce patents,
trademarks and copyrights in any and all countries on such Inventions,
including, without limitation, the execution of any instruments and the giving
of evidence and testimony, without further compensation beyond the Executive's
agreed compensation during the course of the Executive's employment. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Executive further acknowledges that all original
works of authorship by the Executive, whether created alone or jointly with
others, related to the Executive's employment with the Company and which are
protectable by copyright, are "works made for hire" within the meaning of the
United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. ss. 101, as amended, and the copyright of
which shall be owned solely, completely and exclusively by the Company. If any
Invention is considered to be work not included in the categories of work
covered by the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. ss. 101, as amended, such
work is hereby assigned or transferred completely and exclusively to the
Company. The Executive hereby irrevocably designates counsel to the Company as

apply for and obtain patents and copyrights and to enforce the Company's rights
under this Section. This Section 5 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. Any assignment of copyright hereunder includes all rights of
paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be
known as or referred to as "moral rights" (collectively "Moral Rights"). To the
extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned under applicable law and to the
extent the following is allowed by the laws in the various countries where Moral
Rights exist, the Executive hereby waives such Moral Rights and consents to any
action of the Company that would violate such Moral Rights in the absence of
such consent. The Executive agrees to confirm any such waivers and consents from
time to time as requested by the Company.

         The Executive acknowledges that the Company has invested substantial
time, money and resources in the development and retention of its Inventions,
Confidential Information (including trade secrets), customers, accounts and
business partners, and further acknowledges that during the course of the
Executive's employment with the Company the Executive has had and will have
access to the Company's Inventions and Confidential Information (including trade
secrets), and will be introduced to existing and prospective customers, accounts
and business partners of the Company. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that
any and all "goodwill" associated with any existing or prospective customer,
account or business partner belongs exclusively to the Company, including, but
not limited to, any goodwill created as a result of direct or indirect contacts
or relationships between the Executive and any existing or prospective
customers, accounts or business partners. Additionally, the parties acknowledge
and agree that Executive possesses skills that are special, unique or
extraordinary and that the value of the Company depends upon his/her use of such
skills on its behalf.

         In recognition of this, the Executive covenants and agrees that:

         (a) During the Term, and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, the
Executive may not, without the prior written consent of the Board, (whether as
an employee, agent, servant, owner, partner, consultant, independent contractor,
representative, stockholder or in any other capacity whatsoever) participate in
any business that offers products or services competitive in any way to those
offered by the Company or that were under active development by the Company
during the Term, provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from
(i) owning securities of corporations which are listed on a national securities
exchange or traded in the national over-the-counter market in an amount which
shall not exceed 3% of the outstanding shares of an such corporation or (ii)
after termination of his/her employment (x) participating in the business of a
separately managed and operated division, subsidiary or affiliate of a
Competitor, provided that such division, subsidiary or affiliate does not offer

employees of any division, subsidiary or affiliate of the Competitor that offers
Competitive Services regarding the business of the competitive division,
subsidiary or affiliate or (y) becoming affiliated with an entity that is not a

<PAGE>

         (b) During the Term, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the
Executive may not entice, solicit or encourage any Company employee to leave the
employ of the Company or any independent contractor to sever its engagement with
the Company, absent prior written consent to do so from the Company.

         (c) During the Term, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the
Executive may not, directly or indirectly, entice, solicit or encourage any
customer, prospective customer, vendor, strategic partner or business associate
of the Company to cease doing business with the Company, reduce its relationship
with the Company or refrain from establishing or expanding a relationship with
the Company.

7.       Non-Disparagement.

         (a) The Executive hereby agrees that during the Term, and at all times
thereafter, the Executive will not intentionally make any public statement that

but not limited to, any public statement that disparages the products, services,
finances, financial condition, capabilities or other aspect of the business of
the Company.

         (b) The Company hereby agrees that during the Term, and at all times
thereafter, its officers and directors will not intentionally make any public
statement that is disparaging about the Executive, including, but not limited
to, any statement that disparages the services, capabilities, performance or any
other aspect of the Executive's relationship with the Company.

         (c) This Section 7 shall not prevent any person or entity subject to it
from responding publicly to incorrect or disparaging public statements made in
violation of this Section 7 to the extent reasonably necessary to correct or
refute such public statements or from making truthful statements when necessary
to enforce this Agreement or required by applicable law, by a court of law or an
arbitrator, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the
business of the Company or by any administrative or legislative body (including
a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to do so.

8.       Provisions Necessary and Reasonable.

         (a) The Executive agrees that (i) the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6
and 7 of this Agreement are necessary and reasonable to protect the Company's
Confidential Information, Inventions, and goodwill; (ii) the specific temporal,
geographic and substantive provisions set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement
are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company's business interests in part
because the Company's business is international in scope; and (iii) in the event
of any breach of any of the covenants set forth herein, the Company would suffer
substantial irreparable harm and would not have an adequate remedy at law for
such breach. In recognition of the foregoing, the Executive agrees that in the
event of a breach or threatened breach of any of these covenants, in addition to
such other remedies as the Company may have at law, without posting any bond or
security, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain equitable relief, in
the form of specific performance, and/or temporary, preliminary or permanent
injunctive relief, or any other equitable remedy which then may be available.
The seeking of such injunction or order shall not affect the Company's right to
seek and obtain damages or other equitable relief on account of any such actual
or threatened breach.

         (b) If any of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 hereof,
or any part thereof, are hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the
same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be
given full effect without regard to the invalid portions.

         (c) If any of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 hereof,
or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction because of the temporal or geographic scope of such provision or
the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such
determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or geographic area
of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall be enforceable.

9.       Representations Regarding Prior Work and Legal Obligations.

         (a) The Executive represents that the Executive has no agreement or
other legal obligation with any prior employer, or any other person or entity,
that restricts the Executive's ability to accept employment with, or to perform
any function for, the Company.

         (b) The Executive has been advised by the Company that at no time

Company.

days' written notice and opportunity to cure prior to any termination for Good
Reason.

         (d) Death. In the event of the Executive's death during the Term of

contemplated hereunder for (a) a period of ninety (90) consecutive days, or (b)

obligation or duty to the Executive other than for salary earned under this
Agreement prior to the date of termination and any payments or benefits due

pursuant to Section 2 above, the Company shall continue to pay the Executive
full compensation as defined in Section 3 of this Agreement from the date the
Executive receives such notice through the Expiration Date. The Executive shall
not be entitled to any additional compensation other than any payments or

         (g) Change of Control. In the event a Change in Control or Hostile
Takeover, as defined in the Company's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively a
"Change of Control"), occurs, fifty percent (50%) of any unvested stock options
