         4. Termination of Employment.
            -------------------------

                  (a) Death or Disability. The Executive's employment shall
                      -------------------
terminate automatically upon the Executive's death during the Employment
Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the
Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the
definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to the Executive
written notice in accordance with Section 9(b) of this Agreement of its
intention to terminate the Executive's employment. In such event, the
Executive's employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the
30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the "Disability
Effective Date"), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the
Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the
Executive's duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean
the Executive's long term disability for purposes of any reasonable
occupation as determined under the Company's disability plan that is
applicable to the Executive.

                  (b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's
                      -----
employment during the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Cause" shall mean:

                           (i) the willful and continued failure of the
         Executive to perform substantially the Executive's duties with the
         Company or one of its affiliates (other than any such failure
         resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after
         a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the
         Executive by the Board of the Company which specifically identifies
         the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not
         substantially performed the Executive's duties,

                           (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in
         illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and
         demonstrably injurious to the Company;

                           (iii) the Executive's conviction of, or plea of
         guilty or no contest to, a felony or any other crime involving
         moral turpitude, fraud, theft, embezzlement or dishonesty; or

                           (iv) the Executive's habitual drug or alcohol
         abuse.

For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the
Executive, shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be
done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the
Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any
act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution
duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the
Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by
the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The
cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause
unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of
a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a
majority of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board
called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the
Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel,
in the case of conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, to be
heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the
Board, the Executive is

                                     3

guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)
above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

                  (c) Good Reason. The Executive's employment may be
                      -----------
terminated by the Executive for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Good Reason" shall mean:

                           (i) a material failure by the Company to comply
         with any of the provisions of Section 3(b) of this Agreement
         relating to compensation, other than an isolated, insubstantial and
         inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is
         remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof
         given by the Executive;

                           (ii) the assignment to the Executive of any
         duties inconsistent in any respect with the Executive's position as
         Senior Vice President, Solutia Inc. and President, CPFilms and the
         authority, duties and responsibilities contemplated by Section 3(a)
         of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company which results
         in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or
         responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated,
         insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and
         which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice
         thereof given by the Executive; provided, that, a sale by the
         Company of subtantially all of its assets shall constitute a
         diminution in Executive's position, authority, duties and
         responsibilities for purposes of this Section 4(c)(ii); or

                           (iii) the failure of the Company and the
         Executive to enter into a new employment agreement by the last day
         of the Employment Period.

If the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason pursuant to
subparagraph (ii) above as a result of a sale by the Company of
substantially all of its assets, then the Executive shall make himself
available to the Company as a paid independent consultant for such fee, at
such times, over such period of time and for such number of hours as the
parties shall reasonably agree, taking account of any new employment that
the Executive may undertake.

                  (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company
                      ---------------------
for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by
Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with
Section 9(b) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of
Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent
applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment
under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as
defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies
the termination date (which date shall be not more than 30 days after the
giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the Company to set
forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which
contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right
of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the
Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or
circumstance in enforcing the Executive's or the Company's rights hereunder.

if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by
the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of
Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if
the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause
or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the
Company notifies the Executive of such termination and (iii) if the
Executive's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the
Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the

                  (c) Non-Solicitation of Employees. Executive agrees that,
                      -----------------------------
so long as he is employed by the Company and for a period of two (2) years
after the termination of his employment for any reason whatsoever
(regardless of which party terminates the employment relationship), he shall
not, without the prior written approval of the Company (which approval may
be granted or withheld in the Company's sole discretion), either
individually or through an Affiliate, anywhere in the world, solicit,
recruit, hire, attempt to hire, interfere with or otherwise accept services
from any employee or independent contractor engaged by CPF within the
preceding twelve (12) months or induce any employee or independent
contractor engaged by CPF within the preceding twelve (12) months to
terminate their relationship with CPF. This restriction is intended to
protect CPF confidential business information, trade secrets, customer
relationships, supply relationships, goodwill and loyalty.

                  (d) Permitted Investments. Anything herein to the contrary
                      ---------------------
notwithstanding, an investment by Executive in publicly traded stock of a
Person which is engaged in the Business or is engaged in any business which
is in competition with CPF shall not violate Section 7(b)(ii) hereof
provided that Executive and all Affiliates of Executive own, in the
aggregate, less than 2% of all the issued and outstanding stock of such
Person.

                  (e) Restrictions, Reasonable Review. Executive hereby
                      -------------------------------
agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7 are an integral
aspect of this Agreement and are reasonable and necessary and, accordingly,
that the Company (and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns)
shall be entitled to injunctive relief, from a court having jurisdiction
with respect to the matter, for the purpose of restraining Executive and any
Person in which Executive has an interest (as described in Section 7(b)(ii)
hereof) from any actual or threatened breach of the restrictions set forth
in this Section 7 and to any other appropriate relief. If any court of
competent jurisdiction or arbitrator determines that the time period,
activities covered or the geographical scope referenced in this Section 7 is
unreasonable or otherwise in contravention of the law, such restrictions
shall not be determined to be null and void and of no effect, but shall be
reformed by the court or arbitrator to impose a reasonable time period,
activities covered or geographical scope, as the case may be.

                  (f) Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief. Executive
                      ------------------------------------------
recognizes that, if he shall fail to perform, observe or discharge any of
his obligations under this Section 7, no remedy at law will provide adequate
relief to the Company. Therefore, the Company is hereby authorized to demand
specific performance of this Section 7, and shall be entitled to temporary
and permanent injunctive relief, in a court of competent jurisdiction at any
time when Executive shall fail to comply with any of the provisions of this
Section 7 applicable to him.

                  (g) Acknowledgments. Executive hereby acknowledges and
                      ---------------
agrees that CPF's Business is worldwide in scope and activity and that the
Company has a protectable business interest in its customer relationships
and stock in trade throughout the world.

                  (h) Blue Pencil. If, at any time, the provisions of this
                      -----------
Section 7 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable law, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area,
duration or scope of activity, this Agreement shall be considered divisible
and shall become and be immediately amended to only such area, duration and
scope of activity as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by
the court or other body

                                     9

                  (e) The Executive's or the Company's failure to insist

not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other
provision or right of this Agreement.

                  (f) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior agreements, oral and written, between the parties hereto with

         10. Code Section 409A. Compliance.
             -----------------------------

                  (a) General Compliance. This Agreement is intended to meet
                      ------------------
the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
"Code") and any and all rulings or regulations thereunder and may be
administered in a manner that is intended to meet those requirements and
shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the
extent that any payment to be made hereunder is subject to Section 409A of
the Code, such payment shall be made in a manner that will meet the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such that the payment shall not be
subject to the excise tax applicable under Section 409A of the Code. Any
provision of this Agreement that would cause any payment hereunder to fail
to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall be amended (in a manner that as
closely as practicable achieves the original intent of this Agreement) to
comply with Section 409A of the Code on a timely basis, which may be made on
a retroactive basis, in accordance with regulations and other guidance
issued under Section 409A of the Code.

                  (b) Distributions to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding
                      ------------------------------------
anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any distribution provided for
under this Agreement is to be made on account of the Executive's "separation
from service" under Code Section 409(A)(a)(2)(A)(i) and the Executive is
classified as a "specified employee" under Code Section 409(A)(a)(2)(B)(i),
such distribution shall not be made until six months and one day after the
date of the Executive's separation from service (or date of death of the
Executive, if earlier) if such distribution would otherwise, but for this
section, have been distributed earlier. If additional regulations or other
guidance is issued under Section 409A of the Code or a court of competent
jurisdiction provides additional authority concerning the application of
Section 409A with respect to the payments described in Section 5 of the
Agreement, then the provisions of such Section shall be amended to permit
such payments to be made at the earliest time permitted under such
additional regulations, guidance or authority that is practicable and
achieves the original intent of this Agreement.

                  (c) Cooperation. The Executive and the Company agree to
                      -----------
cooperate to make such amendments to the terms of this Agreement as may be
necessary to avoid the imposition of penalties and additional taxes under
Section 409A of the Code.

         11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate
             ------------
counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together constitute one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the
parties and delivered to the other party in original or facsimile form.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has hereunto set the Executive's hand and,
pursuant to the authorization from its Board of Directors, the Company has
caused these presents to be executed in its name on its behalf, all as of
the day and year first above written.

(this "Waiver") is made as of the ____ day of ____________, 200__, by the
Executive pursuant to Section 9(g) of the Agreement.

              Release and Waiver of Claims Against the Company
              ------------------------------------------------

         (a) The Executive, on behalf of himself, his agents, heirs,
successors, assigns, executors and administrators, in consideration for the
payments and other consideration provided for under the Agreement, hereby
forever releases and discharges the Company and its successors, their
affiliated entities, and their past and present directors, employees,
agents, attorneys, accountants, representatives, plan fiduciaries,
successors and assigns from any and all known and unknown causes of action,
actions, judgments, liens, indebtedness, damages, losses, claims,
liabilities, and demands of whatsoever kind and character in any manner
whatsoever arising on or prior to the date of this Waiver, including but not
limited to (i) any claim for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant,
breach of oral or written promise, wrongful termination, intentional
infliction of emotional distress, defamation, interference with contract
relations or prospective economic advantage, negligence, misrepresentation
or employment discrimination, and including without limitation alleged
violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended,
prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national
origin; the Family and Medical Leave Act; the Americans With Disabilities
Act; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; other federal, state and
local laws, ordinances and regulations; and any unemployment or workers'
compensation law, excepting only those obligations of the Company expressly
recited in the Agreement or this Waiver and any claims to benefits under the
Company's employee benefit plans as defined exclusively in written plan
documents; (ii) any and all liability that was or may have been alleged
against or imputed to the Company by the Executive or by anyone acting on
his behalf; (iii) all claims for wages, monetary or equitable relief,
employment or reemployment with the Company in any position, and any
punitive, compensatory or liquidated damages; and (iv) all rights to and
claims for attorneys' fees and costs except as otherwise provided herein or
in the Agreement.

         (b) The Executive shall not file or cause to be filed any action,
suit, claim, charge or proceeding with any federal, state or local court or
agency relating to any claim within the scope of this Waiver. In the event
there is presently pending any action, suit, claim, charge or proceeding
within the scope of this Waiver, or if such a proceeding is commenced in the
future, the Executive shall promptly withdraw it, with prejudice, to the
extent he has the power to do so. The Executive represents and warrants that
he has not assigned any claim released herein, or authorized any other
person to assert any claim on his behalf.

                                     13

         (c) In the event any action, suit, claim, charge or proceeding
within the scope of this Waiver is brought by any government agency,
putative class representative or other third party to vindicate any alleged
rights of the Executive, (i) the Executive shall, except to the extent
required or compelled by law, legal process or subpoena, refrain from
participating, testifying or producing documents therein, and (ii) all
damages, inclusive of attorneys' fees, if any, required to be paid to the
Executive by the Company as a consequence of such action, suit, claim,
charge or proceeding shall be repaid to the Company by the Executive within
ten (10) days of his receipt thereof.

         (d) In the event of a breach of this Waiver by the Executive, the
Company's obligations pursuant to the Agreement shall cease as of the date
of such breach. Furthermore, the Executive understands that his breach of
the provisions of this Waiver will cause monetary damages to the Company.
Thus, should the Executive breach the provisions of this Waiver, he shall be
required to pay the Company, as liquidated damages, the Severance Payment
paid by the Company to the Executive pursuant to the Agreement plus all
costs and expenses, including all attorneys' fees and expenses, that the
Company incurs in enforcing this Waiver. The Executive agrees that the
foregoing amount of liquidated damages is reasonable and necessary, and does
not constitute a penalty.

      Attn:  Mr.
        J. Robert Patterson 

       

      RE:
        Third
        Amendment and Waiver

       

      Gentlemen:
        

       

      Reference
        is made to the Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2004 (as
        amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Infotech USA, Inc., a
        New Jersey corporation, as borrower (the “Borrower”), Infotech USA, Inc., a
        Delaware corporation, and Information Technology Services, Inc., a New York
        corporation, as guarantors (together with the Borrower, the “Obligors”) and
        Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as successor by merger to Wells Fargo
        Business Credit, Inc., acting through its Wells Fargo Business Credit operating
        division, as lender (the “Lender”). Terms which are capitalized and not
        otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
        Credit
        Agreement. 

       

      The
        Obligors have informed the Lender that Sebastian Perez has ceased to actively
        manage each Obligor's day-to-day business activities in his capacity as
        president of each of the Obligors, which constitutes an Event of Default
        under
        Section 7.1(c) of the Credit Agreement (the “Designated Event of Default”). The
        obligors have requested that the Lender consent to Jonathan McKeage’s employment
        as a replacement to Sebastian Perez and that the Lender waive the Designated
        Event of Default, and the Lender hereby agrees to such requests. Accordingly,
        the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting clause (c) or the definition
        of “Change of Control” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement and by
        substituting in lieu thereof the following: “(c) Jonathan McKeage or Robert
        Patterson shall cease to actively manage each Obligor's day-to-day business
        activities, in his capacity as president and chief executive officer or chief
        financial officer, as the case may be, of each Obligor,” Further, the Lender
        hereby waives the Designated Event of Default. Except to the extent expressly
        set forth herein, no waiver of any of the terms, provisions or conditions
        of the
        Credit Agreement is intended or implied and nothing herein shall constitute
        a
        waiver of any existing or future Defaults or Events of Default whatsoever,
        other
        than the Designated Event of Default. 

       

      The
        amendment and the waiver set forth herein shall become upon the Lender's
        receipt
        of this letter duly signed by each Obligor. Except as expressly amended herein,
        the Credit Agreement
        and all of the other Loan Documents are ratified and confirmed in all respects
        and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective
        terms. This letter agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties
        hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
        agreements, commitments, arrangements, negotiations or understandings, whether
        written or oral, of the parties with respect thereto. This letter agreement
        shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of
        the
        State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles thereof.
