Executive may provide computer programming services to (i) the entities set

to such other entities so long as the Board of Directors of the Company has

(c) The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder
(and the Term) for "Good Reason" after the occurrence, without the written
consent of the Executive, of an event constituting a material breach of this
Agreement by the Company that has not been fully cured within ten (10) days
after written notice thereof has been given by the Executive to the Company;
provided that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any one of the
following events shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement:
(i) A reduction by the Company in the
Executive's Base Salary as in effect on the commencement date of this Agreement
or as the same may be increased from time to time;
(ii) The relocation of the Executive's principal

4
except for travel on the Company's business to an extent necessary and
reasonable in light of the Company's business needs and objectives; or
(iii) a default in the payment of all or any part
of the principal or interest on the Promissory Notes when due, and such default
shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such
default shall be made to Parent.
For convenience of reference, the date upon which any
termination of the employment of the Executive pursuant to Sections 5 or 6 shall
be effective shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Termination Date".

"Restriction Period" means the period of time,
commencing on the date hereof and expiring two (2) years after the termination
of Executive's employment with the Company, voluntarily or involuntarily, for
any reason whatsoever, subject to extension pursuant to Section 8.6 below;
provided however, that the Restriction Period shall expire (a) one year after
the Termination Date, in the event that (i) the Executive has terminated this
Agreement in accordance with Section 6(c) solely because the Company has failed
to make payment of its obligations hereunder, and (ii) the Executive has elected
to receive, and the Company has paid, the amount due to Executive under Section
7(c), or (b) on the Termination Date, in the event that (i) the Executive has

Company has failed to make payment of its obligations hereunder, and (ii) the
Executive has elected not to receive, or the Company has failed to pay, the
amount due to Executive under Section 7(c).
8.2 Confidentiality.
(a) The Executive recognizes that his relationship with
the Company and the other Group Members is one of high trust and confidence by
reason of his access to and contact with the Proprietary Information.
Accordingly, the Executive agrees that he will not at any time, either during my
employment with the Company hereunder or thereafter, disclose to others, or use
for his own benefit or the benefit of others, any Proprietary Information. Such
property shall not be erased, discarded or destroyed without specific
instructions from the Company to do so. By way of illustration, but not
limitation, Proprietary Information includes trade secrets, processes, data,
know-how, marketing plans, forecasts, unpublished financial statements, budgets,
6
licenses, prices, costs and employee, customer and supplier lists. The Executive
understands that the Company and other Group Members from time to time has in
their possession information which is claimed by others to be proprietary and
which the Company or other Group Members have agreed to keep confidential. The
Executive agrees that all such information shall be Proprietary Information for
purposes of this Agreement
(b) The Executive's obligations under this Section 8.2
will not apply, however, to any Proprietary Information which: (i) is or becomes
generally known to the public through no action on his part; (ii) is generally
disclosed to third parties by the Company or another Group Member without
restriction on such third parties; or (iii) is approved for release by written
authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company.

(d) The Executive agrees that, if requested to do so by
the Company, he will sign a Termination Certificate in which he confirms that he
has complied with the requirements of the preceding subsection and that he is
aware that certain restrictions imposed upon him by this Agreement continue
after termination of his employment. The Executive understands, however, that
his rights and obligations under this Section 8.2 will continue even if he does
not sign a Termination Certificate.
8.3 Covenant not to Compete.
(a) During the Restriction Period the Executive will not
without the express written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly,
engage in, participate in, or assist, as owner, part-owner, partner, director,
officer, trustee, employee, agent, representative, independent contractor, or
consultant, or in any other capacity, any business organization, anywhere in the
world where the Company or any other Group Member does business whose business
is a Competitive Business. A "Competitive Business" means any business in the
network marketing or direct selling industries. Nothing herein shall prevent the
Executive from owning less than one percent (1%) of the stock of a corporation
that is traded on an established exchange, even if that corporation is engaged
in a Competitive Business.
(b) The Executive recognizes that these restrictions on
competition are reasonable because of the Group Members' investment in good will
and in its customer lists and other proprietary information and his knowledge of
the Group Members' business and business plans. However if any period of time or
geographical area should be judged unreasonable in any judicial proceeding, then
the period of time or geographical area shall be reduced to such extent as may
be deemed required so as to be reasonable and enforceable.
7
(c) During the Restriction Period the Executive will
notify the Company in the event that he takes up a position of any sort with any
business organization whose activities or products are directly or indirectly
competitive with activities or products of the Company or any other Group
Member.
(d) During the Restriction Period the Executive shall not
(i) recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any (x) employees of the Company or
other Group Member to terminate their employment with, or otherwise cease their
relationships with, the Company or other Group Member, or (y) any person who was
an employee of the Company or other Group Member at any time within six months
prior to the end of the Executive's employment with the Company, or (ii)
interfere with or disrupt any actual or imminent business relationship between
the Company or any other Group Member, on the one hand, and any of their
respective (including prospective) customers, suppliers or accounts, on the
other.
8.4 Equitable Relief. Each of the parties acknowledges
that the provisions and restrictions of this Section 8 are reasonable and
necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of Employer. Each of
the parties further acknowledges that the provisions and restrictions of this
Section 8 are unique and that any breach or threatened breach of any of such
provisions or restrictions will provide the Company with no adequate remedy at
law, and the result will be irreparable harm to the Company. Therefore, the
parties hereto agree that upon a breach or threatened breach of the provisions
or restrictions of this Section 8, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to
any other rights and remedies which may be available to it, to institute and
maintain proceedings at law or in equity, to recover damages, to obtain an
equitable accounting of all earnings, profits or other benefits resulting from
such breach or threatened breach and to obtain specific performance or a
temporary and permanent injunction.
8.5 Full Restriction Period. If Executive violates any
restrictive covenant contained herein and the Company institutes action for
equitable relief, the Company, as a result of the time involved in obtaining
such relief, shall not be deprived of the benefit of the full Restriction
Period. Accordingly, the Restriction Period shall be deemed to have the duration
specified in Section 8.1, computed from and commencing on the date on which
relief is granted by a final order from which there is no appeal, but reduced,
if applicable, by the length of time between the date the Restriction Period
commenced and the date of the first violation of any restrictive covenant by
Executive.
8.6 Equitable Accounting. The Company shall have the
right to demand and receive equitable accounting with respect to any
consideration received by Executive in connection with activities in breach of
the restrictive covenants herein, and the Company shall be entitled to payment
from Executive of such consideration on demand.
8.7 Prior Breaches. Neither the expiration of the
Restriction Period nor the termination of the status of any employee, customer,
supplier or account of any Group Member as such (whether or not due to a breach
8
hereof by Executive) shall preclude, limit or otherwise affect the rights and
remedies of the Company against Executive based upon any breach hereof during
the Restriction Period or before such status is terminated.
8.8 Non-circumvention of Covenants. The Executive
acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of this Agreement, an action shall be
considered to have been taken by Executive "indirectly" if taken by or through,
with Executive's knowledge, (i) any member of his family , (ii) any person or
entity owned or controlled, solely or with others, directly or "indirectly" by
Executive or a member of his family, (iii) any person or entity of which he is
an owner, partner, employer, employee, trustee, independent contractor or agent,
(iv) any employees, partners, owners or independent contractors of any such
person or entity or (v) any other one or more representatives or intermediaries,
it being the intention of the parties that Executive shall not directly or
indirectly circumvent any restrictive covenant contained herein or the intent
thereof.
8.9 Fairness of Restrictions. The Executive acknowledges
and agrees that (i) compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth herein
would not prevent him from earning a living that involves his training and
skills without relocating, but only from engaging in unfair competition with,
misappropriating a corporate opportunity of, or otherwise unfairly harming
Employer and (ii) the restrictive covenants set forth herein are intended to
provide a minimum level of protection necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of the Company and other Group Members. In addition, the parties
acknowledge that nothing herein is intended to or shall, limit, replace or
otherwise affect any other rights or remedies at law or in equity for protection
against unfair competition with, misappropriation of corporate opportunities of,
disclosure of confidential and proprietary information of, or defamation of the
Company or any other Group Member, or for protection of any other rights or
interest of any such entity.
Section 9. Miscellaneous.

ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SAID STATE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE
PERFORMED WITHIN SAID STATE.
9.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the
exhibits attached hereto, which hereby are incorporated by reference) contains
the entire agreement of the parties hereto relating to the employment of

parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or warranties relating
to the subject matter of this Agreement which are not set forth herein.

9
9.4 Supplements and Amendments. This Agreement may be
supplemented or amended only upon the written consent of each of the parties
hereto.
9.5 Assignment. Except as expressly provided below, this
Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, by either party without
the prior written consent of the other party. The Company may, without the prior
written consent of the Executive, assign its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to any other Group Member into which the Company may merge or
consolidate, or to which the Company may sell or transfer assets; provided,
however, that such assignment may be made without Executive's prior written
consent only if (i) such assignment has a valid business purpose and is not for
the purpose of avoiding the Company's obligations hereunder or Executive's
realization of the benefits of this Agreement and (b) the assignee expressly
assumes in writing all obligations and liabilities to Executive hereunder. The
Company will cause any purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets, by
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Executive, to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such
purchase had taken place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Employer and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This
Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of

shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel to enforce
any provisions of this Agreement, except by a statement in writing signed by the
party against whom enforcement of the waiver or estoppel is sought. Any written
waiver shall not be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated, shall
operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not
constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act
other than that specifically waived.
9.7 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are
severable, and if any one or more provisions may be determined to be judicially
unenforceable and/or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, in whole or
in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding, enforceable and
in full force and effect.
9.8 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the
various Sections of this Agreement are intended solely for convenience of
reference and not intended for any purpose whatsoever to explain, modify or
place any construction upon any of the provisions hereof.
9.9 Injunctive Relief. The Executive agrees that it would
be difficult to compensate the Company fully for damages for any violation of
the provisions of Sections 6 and 8 hereof. Accordingly, the Executive
specifically agrees that the Company shall be entitled to temporary and
permanent injunctive relief to enforce such provisions of this Agreement. This
provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the
right of the Company to claim and recover damages in addition to injunctive
relief.
