adjustments as deemed appropriate to the structure of the Annual Bonus program
from time to time. Bonuses shall be calculated and paid on a quarterly basis.

without the Executive's prior express written consent, to any location other

after such Change in Control occurs, the Executive's employment is terminated
either (1) by the Company for any reason other than (A) for Cause (as defined

(2) the Company shall maintain in full force and effect
for the shorter of the Contract Term or eighteen (18) months after
termination, all employee health and medical benefit plans and programs
including, without limitation, the Executive's 401(k) Plan, in which the
Executive, his family, or both, were participants immediately prior to
termination; provided that such continued participation is possible under the
general terms and provisions of such plans and programs; provided, however,

earned shall be paid within 45 days from the end of the quarter in which the
Executive terminates employment; provided, however, that if the Annual Bonus,
if any, has not been earned by the Executive at the date of termination, but
the Executive otherwise would have been entitled to the Annual Bonus at the
end of the Company's next fiscal year or the next period designated by the
Company for the determination of bonuses for senior executives (the "Bonus

replacement policies) owned by the Company for the purpose of funding the
Company's obligations under the Salary Continuation Agreement.
Any obligation owed or amount payable pursuant to this Section together
with any compensation pursuant to Article III that is payable for services
rendered through the effective date of termination, shall constitute the sole
obligation of the Company payable with respect to the termination of the
Executive as provided in this Section.
5.3 Parachute Payment Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, if the severance payments under Section 5.02 of this
Agreement, together with any other Parachute Payments made by the Company to
the Executive, if any, are characterized as Excess Parachute Payments, then
the following rules shall apply:
(1) The Company shall compute the net value to the Executive of
all such severance payments after reduction for the excise taxes imposed by
Section 4999, of the Code and for any normal income taxes that would be
imposed on the Executive if such severance payments constituted the
Executive's sole taxable income;
(2) The Company shall next compute the maximum amount of
severance payments that can be provided without any such payments being
characterized as Excess Parachute Payments, and reduce the result by the
amount of any normal income taxes that would be imposed on the Executive if
such reduced severance benefits constituted the Executive's sole taxable
income;
(3) If the amount derived in Section 5.03(a) is greater than the
amount derived in Section 5.03(b), then the Company shall pay the Executive
the full amount of severance payments without reduction. If the amount derived
in Section 5.03(a) is not greater than the amount derived in Section 5.03(b),
then the Company shall pay the Executive the maximum amount of severance
payments that can be provided without any such payments being characterized as
Excess Parachute Payments.
5.4 No Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the
amount of any payment provided for in Section 5.02 by seeking other employment
or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in Section 5.02
be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of
employment by another company, self-employment or otherwise.
ARTICLE 6
RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
6.1 Trade Secrets. Confidential and Proprietary Business Information.
(1) The Company has advised the Executive and the Executive has
acknowledged that it is the policy of the Company to maintain as secret and
confidential all Protected Information (as defined below), and that Protected
Information has been and will be developed at substantial cost and effort to
the Company. "Protected Information" means trade secrets, confidential and
proprietary business information of the Company, any information of the
Company other than information which has entered the public domain (unless
such information entered the public domain through effects of or on account of
the Executive), and all valuable and unique information and techniques
acquired, developed or used by the Company relating to its business,
operations, employees, customers and suppliers, which give the Company a
competitive advantage over those who do not know the information and
techniques and which are protected by the Company from unauthorized
disclosure, including but not limited to, customer lists (including potential
customers), sources of supply, processes, plans, materials, pricing
information, internal memoranda, marketing plans, internal policies, and
products and services which may be developed from time to time by the Company
and its agent or employees.
(2) The Executive acknowledges that the Executive will acquire
Protected Information with respect to the Company and its successors in
interest, which information is a valuable, special and unique asset of the
Company's business and operations and that disclosure of such Protected
Information would cause irreparable damage to the Company.
(3) Either during or for a period of two (2) years following
termination of employment by the Company, the Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, divulge, furnish or make accessible to any person, firm,
corporation, association or other entity (otherwise than as may be required in
the regular course of the Executive's employment) nor use in any manner, any
Protected Information, or cause any such information of the Company to enter
the public domain.
6.2 Non-Competition
(1) The Executive agrees that the Executive shall not during the
Executive's employment with the Company, and, for a period of two (2) years
after the termination of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, in any
capacity, engage or participate in, or become employed by or render advisory
or consulting or other services in connection with any Prohibited Business as
defined in Section 6.02(c).
(2) The Executive agrees that the Executive shall not during the
Executive's employment with the Company, and, for a period of two (2) years
after the termination of this Agreement, make any financial investment,
whether in the form of equity or debt, or own any interest, directly or
indirectly, in any Prohibited Business. Nothing in this Section 6.02(b) shall,
however, restrict the Executive from making any investment in any company
whose stock is listed on a national securities exchange; provided that (i)
such investment does not give the Executive the right or ability to control or
influence the policy decisions of any Prohibited Business, and (ii) such
investment does not create a conflict of interest between the Executive's
duties hereunder and the Executive's interest in such investment.
(3) For purposes of this Section 6.02, "Prohibited Business"
shall be defined as any business and any branch, office or operation thereof,
which is a competitor of the Company and which has established or seeks to
establish contact, in whatever form (including, but not limited to
solicitation of sales, or the receipt or submission of bids), with any entity
who is at any time a client, customer or supplier of the Company (including
but not limited to all subdivisions of the federal government.)
6.3 Non-Solicitation. From the date hereof until two (2) years after
the Executive's termination of employment with the Company, the Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly (a) encourage any employee or supplier of
the Company or its successors in interest to leave his or her employment with
the Company or its successors in interest, (b) employ, hire, solicit or cause
to be employed, hired or solicited (other than by the Company or its
successors in interest), or encourage others to employ or hire any person who
within two (2) years prior thereto was employed by the Company or its
successors in interest, or (c) establish a business with, or encourage others
to establish a business with, any person who within two (2) years prior
thereto was an employee or supplier of the Company or its successors in
interest.
6.4 Survival of Undertakings and Injunctive Relief.
(1) The provisions of Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03 shall survive
the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company irrespective of
the reasons therefor.
(2) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions
imposed upon the Executive by Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03 and the purpose of
such restrictions are reasonable and are designed to protect the Protected
Information and the continued success of the Company without unduly
restricting the Executive's future employment by others. Furthermore, the
Executive acknowledges that, in view of the Protected Information which the
Executive has or will acquire or has or will have access to and in view of the
necessity of the restrictions contained in Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03, any
violation of any provision of Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03 hereof would cause
irreparable injury to the Company and its successors in interest with respect
to the resulting disruption in their operations. By reason of the foregoing
the Executive consents and agrees that if the Executive violates any of the
provisions of Sections 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 of this Agreement, the Company and
its successors in interest as the case may be, shall be entitled, in addition
to any other remedies that they may have, including money damages, to an
injunction to be issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, restraining the
Executive from committing or continuing any violation of such Sections of this
Agreement.
In the event of any such violation of Sections 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 of
this Agreement, the Executive further agrees that the time periods set forth
in such Sections shall be extended by the period of such violation.
ARTICLE 7
TERMINATION
7.1 Termination of Employment. The Executive's employment may be
terminated (i) at any time during the Contract Term by mutual agreement of the
parties, (ii) at the end of any Renewal Contract Term if written notice of
non-renewal is given by either party to the other at least 90 days prior to
the end of said Renewal Contract Term or (iii) as otherwise provided in this
Article.
7.2 Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's
employment for Cause by giving the Executive seven (7) days prior written
notice of such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" for
termination shall mean
(1) the willful failure or refusal to carry out the
reasonable directions of the Board, which directions are consistent with the
Executive's duties as set forth under this Agreement and have been given to
the Executive in writing but which directions the Executive has failed to
follow or implement within thirty (30) days after said written notice, other
than a failure resulting from the Executive's complete or partial incapacity
due to physical or mental illness or impairment;
(2) a conviction for a violation of a state or federal
criminal law involving the commission of a felony;
(3) a willful act by the Executive that constitutes gross
negligence in the performance of the Executive's duties under this Agreement
and which materially injures the Company. No act, or failure to act, by the
Executive shall be considered "willful" unless committed without good faith
and without a reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the Company's
best interest;
(4) a material breach by the Executive of the terms of
this Agreement, which breach has not been cured by the Executive within
fifteen (15) days of written notice of said breach by the Company;
(5) repeated unethical business practices by the Executive
in connection with the Company's business, which unethical business practices
continue after fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof by the Company;
or
(6) habitual use of alcohol or drugs by the Executive.
Upon termination for Cause, the Executive shall not be entitled to payment of
any compensation other than salary and benefits under this Agreement earned up
to the date of such termination and any stock options, warrants or similar
rights which have vested at the date of such termination.
7.3 Termination Without Cause. Should the Executive's employment be
terminated for a reason other than as specifically set forth in Sections 7.01
and 7.02 or Article V above the Company shall pay and/or provide to the
Executive each of the benefits and payments provided in Section 5.02 (i)-(v).
1.1
7.4 Employment Assistance, Office. In the event the Executive is
terminated for any reason other than Cause, for a period equal to the shorter

available to the Executive at its headquarters, temporary office space and
reasonable administrative staff to assist the Executive in seeking employment.

received by the Executive, and any such attempt to dispose of any right to
benefits payable hereunder shall be void.
8.4 Severability. If all or any part of this Agreement is declared by
any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such
unlawfulness or invalidity shall not serve to invalidate any portion of this
Agreement not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any paragraph or part of a
paragraph so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be
construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such paragraph or
part of a paragraph to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and
valid.
