(f) INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 280G.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the
extent that any payment or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the
Executive by the Company, any affiliate of the Company, any person who acquires
ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial
portion of the Company's assets (within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), and the regulations thereunder), or any
affiliate of such person, whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the "Total
Payments") is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of
the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then the Total Payments shall be reduced (but not
below zero) if and to the extent that a reduction in the Total Payments would
result in the Executive retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking
into account federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax), than if
the Employee received the entire amount of such Total Payments. Unless the
Executive shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to
the Company to effectuate the foregoing, the Company shall reduce or eliminate
the Total Payments, by first reducing or eliminating the portion of the Total
Payments which are not payable in cash (other than Total Payments attributable
to stock options or other equity awards ("EQUITY AWARDS")) and then by reducing
or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with
payments or benefits which are to be paid the latest in time, and then by
reducing Equity Awards in the manner which will maximize the after-tax benefit
to the Executive. Any notice given by the Executive pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other
-4-
plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive's rights and
entitlements to any benefits or compensation. The determination of whether
the Total Payments shall be reduced pursuant to the foregoing and the amount
of such reduction shall be made, at the Company's expense, by an accounting
firm selected by the Company which is one of the five largest accounting
firms in the United States (other than the Company's regular independent
auditor).
(g) For purposes of this SECTION 5, the Executive's
employment shall not be treated as terminated for so long as he is an employee
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
6. EXECUTIVE COVENANTS.
(a) UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE. The Executive agrees and
understands that in the Executive's position with the Company, the Executive has
been and will be exposed to and has and will receive information relating to the
confidential affairs of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, including
but not limited to technical information, intellectual property, business and
marketing plans, strategies, customer information, other information concerning
the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business
policies and practices of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and
other forms of information considered by the Company to be confidential and in
the nature of trade secrets ("Confidential Information"). The Executive agrees
that during the Employment Term and thereafter, the Executive will not disclose
such Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, to any third
person or entity without the prior written consent of the Company. This
confidentiality covenant has no temporal, geographical or territorial
restriction. Upon termination of the Employment Term, the Executive will
promptly supply to the Company all property, keys, notes, memoranda, writings,
lists, files, reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards,
surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data or any other tangible product or
document which has been produced by, received by or otherwise submitted to the
Executive during or prior to the Employment Term. Any material breach of the
terms of this paragraph shall be considered Cause.
(b) NON-COMPETITION. By and in consideration of the
Company's entering into this Agreement and the payments to be made and benefits
to be provided by the Company hereunder, and further in consideration of the
Executive's exposure to the proprietary information of the Company, the
Executive agrees that the Executive will not, during the Employment Term, and
thereafter during the "Non-competition Term" (as defined below), directly or
indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate
in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any
manner with, including but not limited to holding any position as a shareholder,
director, officer, consultant, independent contractor, employee, partner, or
investor in, any
-5-
"Restricted Enterprise" (as defined below); PROVIDED, that in no event shall
the ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding equity securities of any
issuer whose securities are registered under the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, standing alone, be prohibited by this SECTION 6(b). For
purposes of this SECTION 6(b), the term "RESTRICTED ENTERPRISE" shall mean
any person, corporation, partnership or other entity that competes, directly
or indirectly, with any business or activity conducted or proposed to be
conducted by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates as of the
date of the Executive's termination of employment. Following termination of
the Employment Term, upon request of the Company, the Executive shall notify
the Company of the Executive's then current employment status. For purposes
of this Agreement, the "NON-COMPETITION TERM" shall mean the period beginning
on the Termination Date and ending on the second anniversary of such date.
Any material breach of the terms of this SECTION 6(b) shall be considered
Cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Executive's employment
with the Company is terminated following a Change in Control by the Company
without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall not be
subject to this SECTION 6(b), and this SECTION 6(b) shall have no force or
effect.
(c) NON-SOLICITATION. During the Non-competition
Term, the Executive shall not, and shall not cause any other person to,
interfere with or harm, or attempt to interfere with or harm, the relationship
of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates with, or endeavor to
entice away from the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or hire,
any person who at any time during the Employment Term was an employee or
customer of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Executive's employment with the
Company is terminated following a Change in Control by the Company without Cause
or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall not be subject to this
SECTION 6(c), and this SECTION 6(c) shall have no force or effect.
(d) REMEDIES. The Executive agrees that any breach of
the terms of this SECTION 6 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the
Company, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates for which the Company, its
subsidiaries and/or affiliates would have no adequate remedy at law; the
Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat
of breach, the Company, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, as applicable, shall
be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such
breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or
any and all persons and/or entities acting for and/or with the Executive,
without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the
Company, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates may be entitled at law or in equity.
The terms of this SECTION 6(d) shall not prevent the Company, its subsidiaries
and/or affiliates from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or
threatened breach hereof, including but not limited to the recovery of damages
from the Executive. The Executive and the Company further agree that the
provisions of the covenants contained in this SECTION 6 are
-6-
reasonable and necessary to protect the businesses of the Company, its
subsidiaries and affiliates because of the Executive's access to Confidential
Information and his material participation in the operation of such
businesses. The Executive hereby acknowledges that due to the global aspects
of the Company's, its subsidiaries' and affiliates' businesses and
competitors it would not be appropriate to include any geographic limitation
on this SECTION 6. Should a court or arbitrator determine, however, that any
provision of the covenants contained in this SECTION 6 are not reasonable or
valid, either in period of time, geographical area, or otherwise, the parties
hereto agree that such covenants should be interpreted and enforced to the
maximum extent which such court or arbitrator deems reasonable or valid.
The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive
against the Company, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, whether predicated on
this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement
by the Company of the covenants contained in this SECTION 6.
7. NON-WAIVER OF RIGHTS. The failure to enforce at any time
the provisions of this Agreement or to require at any time performance by any
other party of any of the provisions hereof shall in no way be construed to be a
waiver of such provisions or to affect either the validity of this Agreement or
any part hereof, or the right of any party to enforce each and every provision
in accordance with its terms.
8. NOTICES. Every notice relating to this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be given by personal delivery, by a reputable same-day or

(the "Voting Securities"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in determining whether a Change in

Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
by or on
-9-
behalf of a Person other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest"), including by
reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or
Proxy Contest; or
(c) The consummation of:

Company or another corporation that is a party to the agreement of Merger, (2)
any Related Entity, or (3) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a
part thereof) that, immediately prior to the Merger, was maintained by the
Company or any Related Entity, or (4) any Person who, immediately prior to the
Merger had Beneficial Ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the then
outstanding Common Stock or Voting Securities, has Beneficial Ownership
immediately following the Merger, directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%)
or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities or
common stock of (x) the Surviving Corporation, if fifty percent (50%) or more of
the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the
Surviving Corporation is not Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly by a

Merger for this purpose or the distribution to the Company's stockholders of the
stock of a Related Entity or any other assets).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur
solely because any Person (the "Subject Person") acquired Beneficial Ownership
of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding Common Stock or Voting
Securities as a result of the acquisition of Common Stock or Voting Securities
by the Company which, by reducing the number of Common Stock or Voting
Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares
Beneficially Owned by the Subject Persons, provided that if a Change in Control
would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the
acquisition of Common Stock or Voting Securities by the Company, and after such
share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial
Owner of any additional Common Stock or Voting Securities which increases the
percentage of the then outstanding Common Stock or Voting Securities
Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur.
"DISABILITY" shall mean the inability of the Executive to
perform his duties, services and responsibilities hereunder by reason of a
physical or mental infirmity, as reasonably determined by the Board, for a total
of 180 calendar days in any twelve-month period during the Employment Term.

Executive's Base Salary; or (iii) a relocation of the Company's corporate
headquarters to a location that is more than 50 miles from the location of the
corporate headquarters immediately before the Change in Control.
"PRO RATA BONUS AMOUNT" shall mean an amount equal to the
annual bonus paid to the Executive for the year prior to the year in which the
Executive's employment is terminated, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days elapsed from the beginning of the bonus period
through and including the Termination Date, and the denominator of which is 365.
-11-
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Company has caused this
Agreement to be executed by authority of its Board of Directors, and the
