AGREEMENT
The Executive and the Company agree as follows:
1. DUTIES.
1.1 RETENTION. The Company does hereby hire, engage, and employ the
Executive as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and the
Executive does hereby accept and agree to such hiring, engagement, and
employment. During the Period of Employment (as defined in Section 2),
the Executive shall serve the Company in such position, and shall have
duties and authority consistent with such position (including primary
general authority over the Company's finance department), subject,
however, to the other provisions of this Agreement, directives of the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "CEO") and/or the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "BOARD"), and the corporate policies and
budgets of the Company as they presently exist, and as such policies
and budgets may be amended, modified, changed, or adopted during the
Period of Employment. During the Period of Employment, the Executive
shall report to the CEO. The Executive shall also serve as a member of
the Board of Directors during the Period of Employment.
1.2 NO OTHER EMPLOYMENT. Throughout the Period of Employment, the Executive
shall devote his full business time, energy, and skill to the
performance of his duties for the Company (vacations and other leave
authorized under this Agreement excepted) and shall devote his best
efforts to advancing the interests of the Company. The Executive agrees
that any appointment to or continuing service on the board of directors
of any corporation must be approved in writing by the Company, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld if the Company determines that
such appointment should not interfere with the performance of the
Executive's duties hereunder; provided that the Company's advance
approval is not required for the Executive to serve on the board of
directors or as an officer of any non-profit trade association, or of
any non-profit civic, educational or other charitable organization (in
each case subject to the following sentence). The Executive's continued
membership on any board or in any other position referenced in the
preceding sentence, on or in which he may now or in the future serve,
is subject to the conditions (a)
that the Executive's membership or position does not materially
interfere with the performance of the Executive's duties hereunder, and
(b) that the entity with which the Executive is affiliated does not
compete (within the meaning of Section 9, without giving effect to the
last sentence thereof) with the business of any entity within the
Company Group. For purposes of this Agreement, the "COMPANY GROUP"
includes, collectively, the Company and any subsidiary or affiliate of
the Company.
1.3 NO BREACH OF CONTRACT. The Executive hereby represents to the
Company that his execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
performance of his duties hereunder will not constitute a breach of, or
otherwise contravene, the terms of any employment or other agreement or
policy to which the Executive is a party or otherwise bound. The
Company hereby represents to the Executive that it is authorized to
enter into this Agreement and that the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the employment of the Executive hereunder will not
constitute a breach of, or otherwise contravene, the terms of any law,
agreement or policy by which it is bound.

The "PERIOD OF EMPLOYMENT" shall, unless sooner terminated as provided
herein, be a one (1) year period commencing on the Effective Date and
ending at the close of business on the day before the first (1st)
anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, commencing on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and
each anniversary thereof (each an "EXTENSION DATE"), the Period of
Employment shall be automatically extended for an additional one-year
period, unless the Company provides the other party hereto at least six
(6) months prior written notice before the next scheduled Extension
Date that the Period of Employment shall not be so extended. The term
"Period of Employment" shall include any extension that becomes
applicable pursuant to the preceding sentence.

"Base Salary" shall mean Base Salary as it may be increased by the
Company, in its discretion, from time to time.) The Executive's Base
Salary, as in effect from time to time, shall not be decreased for any
reason or for any purpose (including for purposes of determining any
amounts due to the Executive upon a termination of his employment)
during the Period of Employment. The Executive shall be eligible for
profit-sharing bonuses and/or discretionary bonuses, to be determined
in amounts consistent with other executive officers.

Effective Date, the Executive shall be granted stock options for
100,000 shares of Tekinsight Common Stock. Such options shall become

services to, any person engaged in any business that competes
with the business of any entity within the Company Group,

employment with the Company), other in the course of his duties
hereunder or unless compelled by lawful process, disclose or use for
his own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes of any other
person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or
other business organization, entity or enterprise other than an entity
then within the Company Group, any trade secrets, or other confidential
data or information relating to customers, development programs, costs,
marketing, trading, investment, sales activities, promotion, credit and
financial data, financing methods, or plans of any entity within the
Company Group; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to
information which is generally known to the industry or the public
other than as a result of the Executive's breach of this covenant. The
Executive agrees that upon termination of his employment with the

and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way relating to the
business of any entity within the Company Group, except that he may
retain personal notes, notebooks and diaries that do not contain

The Executive promises and agrees that during the Period of Employment
and for a period of two (2) years thereafter:
(a) he will not influence or attempt to influence customers of any
entity within the Company Group (as it may now or in the
future be composed), either directly or indirectly, to divert
their business away from the Company Group to any individual,
partnership, firm, corporation or other entity then in
competition with the business of any entity within the Company
Group; and
(b) he will not make disparaging statements, whether oral or
