terminated in accordance with the provisions herein on or before March 31, 2003,
the remaining term of the Agreement shall be extended such that at each and

herein, or (ii) on or after September 30, 2002, the Board of Directors notifies

surviving entity, reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
outstanding shares of the securities of the Company (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value),
the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Executive
shall have the right thereafter, by exercising Incentive Options specified in
paragraph 4b(i) and all Performance Options that are vested, to purchase the
kind and amount of shares of securities and property receivable by the security
holders upon such merger, reclassification, capital reorganization or other
change.
c. Performance Bonus. In order to promote goals that may increase
shareholder value, the Executive shall, subject to sub paragraphs (i) and (ii),
below, be eligible to receive Performance Bonuses as follows:
(i) For the Company's fiscal year ending December 30, 1998:
(A) fifty percent of base salary if the Company achieves
consolidated net income for the fiscal year ending December, 1998 of one hundred
thousand dollars ($100,000) or more.
(B) Executive shall receive an additional bonus of fifty
percent of base salary if the average of the closing bid and ask prices of ONLN
common stock for the last 20 business days ending December 31, 1998 as reported
on the Company's primary market or trading forum, is equal to or exceeds $6.00.
(C) Further, if the consolidated gross revenue of the Company
for the fiscal year ending December, 1998 exceeds $1,200,000, the Executive
shall receive an additional bonus equal to five percent of the amount of revenue
which exceeds $1,200,000.
(ii) For the Company's fiscal years ending September 30, 1999 and
later:
(A) An amount equal to fifty percent of base salary if the
average of the closing bid and ask prices of ONLN common stock for the last 20
business days ending December 31, 1998 as reported on the Company's primary
market or trading forum, exceeds the previous year's 20 business day average for
the same period by 51 % or more.
(B) Further, if the audited consolidated gross revenue of the
Company exceeds $3,000,000 by December 30, 1999, the Executive shall be deemed
vested in 35 percent of the Performance Options; if in excess of $6,000,000 by
December 30, 2000, he will be vested in an additional 35 percent of the
Performance Options, and if in excess of $9,000,000 by December 30, 2001, he
will be vested in the remaining 30% of the Performance Options. The Performance
Options will vest at the earliest fiscal year in which the respective

example, it is possible for all the Performance Options to vest based upon the
first measuring period if all the respective consolidated gross revenue
requirements are met in the first measuring period. The Performance Options that
do not vest are forfeited.

hereunder and, in addition, for the next eighteen (18) months after termination

Company-sponsored plans or programs.

reason, the Company shall immediately release the Executive, and obtain the
release of the Executive by third parties, from any and all personal guarantees
and other credit obligations the Executive has incurred or undertaken on behalf

106
Executive Employment Agreement
Page 7
b. The filing of a new Company beneficiary Designation Form will cancel
all designations previously filed. Any finalized divorce or marriage (other than
a common-law marriage) of Executive subsequent to the date of filing of a
beneficiary designation shall revoke such designation, unless: (i) In the case
of divorce, the previous spouse was not designated as beneficiary, and (ii) In
the case of marriage, Executive's new spouse had previously been designated as
beneficiary.
c. If Executive fails to designate a beneficiary as provided for above,
or if the beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise
without execution of a new designation, then the Company's Board (or its
Compensation Committee if one exists) shall direct the distribution of any
benefits under this Agreement to Executive's estate.
7. TRADE SECRETS AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
The parties hereto recognize that a major need of the Company and its
subsidiaries is to preserve its specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and
confidential information concerning its business. The strength and good will of
the Company is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade secrets and
confidential information generated from experience with the activities
undertaken by the Company and its subsidiaries. The disclosure of this
information and knowledge to competitors would be beneficial to them and
detrimental to the Company, as would the disclosure of information about the
marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, design
specifications, analytical techniques, and similar items of the Company and its
subsidiaries. By reason of his position with the Company, Executive has or will
have access to, and has obtained or will obtain, specialized knowledge, trade
secrets and confidential information about the Company's operations and the
operations of its subsidiaries. Therefore, Executive hereby agrees as follows,
recognizing that the Company is relying on these agreements in entering into
this Agreement:
a. Executive covenants and agrees that Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, use, disseminate, or disclose for any purposes other than for the
purposes of the Company's business, any confidential information or trade
secrets of the Company or its subsidiaries, unless such disclosure is compelled
in a judicial proceeding. Upon termination of this employment, all documents,
records, notebooks, and similar repositories of records containing information
relating to any trade secrets or confidential information then in the
Executive's possession or control, whether prepared by him or by others, shall
be left with the Company or returned to the Company upon its request. This
section shall not restrict the Executive from using his general knowledge (the
ideas, concepts, know-how and other industry information which is part of his
common knowledge) from pursuit of livelihood subsequent to any termination of
this Agreement.
b. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement
and to pay Executive the compensation and benefits stated in this Agreement,
Executive covenants and agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a
period of one year following the termination of the Agreement, the Executive
shall not compete with the Company or its subsidiaries, pursue business
opportunities with or serve as a consultant or member of the staff in any
capacity to any other companies with whom the Company or its subsidiaries has
transacted business during the prior year of employment, either as a customer or
a supplier, without the prior written permission of the Company. For one year
following termination of employment, the Executive confirms that he will not
directly or indirectly, without prior written consent, perform work that the
Company or any of its subsidiaries holds in backlog or is pursing at the time of
termination.
107
Executive Employment Agreement
Page 8
c. The covenant of non-disclosure and covenant not to compete apply to
the Company and its subsidiaries, have been negotiated and agreed to by and
between the Company and Executive with the full knowledge of and pursuant to the
Colorado Trade Secrets Act, and are deemed by both parties to be fair and
reasonable.
d. Executive agrees that any breach of the covenant of non-disclosure
or covenant not to compete will cause the Company irreparable damage for which a
remedy at law will not be wholly adequate. In the event of breach or threatened
breach by Executive of the covenant of non-disclosure or covenant not to
compete, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief to restrain the
breach or threatened breach, as well as to damages sustained and recovery of a
reasonable attorney fee. The Company may elect to enforce this right to
injunctive relief in any court of jurisdiction, or may proceed in arbitration.
This section controls and supersedes Section 10.g (Dispute Resolution) of this
Agreement. If there is a judgment in court or in arbitration that the Executive
has breached the covenant of non-disclosure or covenant not to compete, the
Company shall be entitled to terminate all payment obligations under this
Agreement, and recover any payments made to Executive after the date of breach.
e. The parties intended that the covenant not to compete shall be
construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each county and city to
which it may be applicable. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate
covenant not to compete shall be deemed identical. If, in any judicial
proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of the separate covenants, then
the unenforceable covenant shall be deemed reduced or eliminated from this
Agreement for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit
the remaining separate covenants to be enforced. In the event a court of
competent jurisdiction finds this covenant so overbroad as to be unenforceable,
the parties intend that this covenant be reduced in scope by the court, but only
to the extent necessary by the court to render the covenant reasonable and
enforceable, keeping in mind that Executive and the Company intend to give the
Company the broadest possible protection against harmful future competition.
8. TAX MATTERS
a. If any payments due Executive under this Agreement result in
Executive's liability for an excise tax ("parachute tax") under the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code'), the Company will pay to Executive, after deducting
any Federal, state or local income tax imposed on the payment, an amount
sufficient to fully satisfy the "parachute tax" liability. Such payment shall be
made to Executive not later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the
"parachute tax".
b. To the extent required by law, the Company shall withhold from any
payments under this Agreement any applicable federal, state or local withholding
taxes.
108
Executive Employment Agreement

9. INDEMNIFICATION
So long as Executive is not found by a court of law to be guilty of a
willful and material breach of this Agreement, or to be guilty of gross
misconduct, he shall be indemnified from and against any and all losses,
liability, claims and expenses, damages, or causes of action, proceeding or
investigations, or threats thereof (including reasonable attorney fees and
expenses of counsel satisfactory to and approved by Executive) incurred by
Executive, arising out of, in connection with, or based upon Executive's
services and the performance of his duties pursuant to this Employment
Agreement, or any other matter contemplated by this Employment Agreement,
whether or not resulting in any such liability subject to such limitations as
are provided by the Colorado Business Corporations Act. Executive shall be
reimbursed by the Company as an when incurred for any reasonable legal and other
damage, liability, action proceeding, investigation or threat thereof, or
producing evidence, producing documents or taking any other action in respect
thereto (whether or not Executive is a defendant in or target of such action,
proceeding or investigation), subject to such limitations as are provided by the
Colorado Business Corporations Act.
10. OTHER MATTERS
a. Successors. The rights and duties of a party hereunder shall not be
assignable by that party; provided, however, that this Agreement shall be
binding upon and insure to the benefit of any successor of ONLN, and any such
successor shall be deemed substituted for ONLN under the terms of this
Agreement. The term successor as used herein shall include any person, firm,
corporation or other business entity which at any time, by merger, purchase or
otherwise, acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of ONLN.
This Agreement shall also be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
Executive, Executive's heirs, executors, administrators and beneficiaries.
b. Entire Agreement. With respect to the matters specified herein, this
Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all
prior oral and written agreements, understandings and commitments between the
parties. This Agreement shall not affect the provisions of any other
compensation, retirement or other benefits program of ONLN to which Executive is
a party or of which he is a beneficiary. No amendments to this Agreement may be
made except through a written document signed by both parties.
c. Validity. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held
to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect
whatsoever, the validity of any other provision of the Agreement.

this Agreement shall be made in writing and shall be deemed effective upon the

e. Attorneys Fees and Costs. In any action at law or in equity to
enforce any of the provisions or rights under this Agreement, the unsuccessful
party to such litigation, as determined by the Court in a final judgment or
decree, shall pay the successful party or parties all costs, expenses and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred therein by such party or parties (including
without limitation such costs, expenses and fees on any appeals), and if such
successful party or parties shall recover judgment in any such action or
proceeding, such costs, expenses and attorneys' fees shall be included a part of
such judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, in no event shall the
successful party or parties be entitled to recover any amount from the
