IV.  TERMINATION PRIOR TO EXPIRATION DATE AND CONSEQUENCES THEREOF

     This Section IV sets forth the circumstances in which the Employment Period
     shall terminate on a date ("EFFECTIVE TERMINATION DATE") prior to the
     Expiration Date (as defined in Section II hereof).

     A.   Death or Disability

          The Employment Period shall terminate upon the Employee's date of
          death or the date the Employee is given written notice that she has
          been determined to be

                                       3
<PAGE>

          disabled by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee
          shall be deemed to be "DISABLED" if the Employee, as a result of
          illness or incapacity, shall be unable to perform substantially her
          required duties for a period of three (3) consecutive months or for
          any aggregate period of three (3) months in any six (6) month period.
          In the event of a dispute as to whether Employee is disabled, the
          Company may refer Employee to a licensed practicing physician of the
          Company's choice, and Employee agrees to submit to such tests and
          examination as such physician shall deem appropriate.

     B.   Termination by Company for Cause

          The Employment Period shall terminate on the date the Company provides
          the Employee with written notice that she is being terminated for
          Cause.

          For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "CAUSE" shall mean:


                (i) the willful or grossly negligent failure by Employee to
          perform his duties and obligations hereunder in any material respect,
          other than any such failure resulting from his disability;

                (ii) Employee's conviction of a felony crime; or

                (iii) Employee's violation of the law in connection with her
          employment which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the
          operations or reputation of the Company.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cause shall not exist under clause (i)
          above until notice of such failure has been given to Employee by the
          Company and thirty days (30) has lapsed following such notice without
          Employee curing such failure to the Company's reasonable satisfaction;
          provided, however, that such notice and lapse of time shall not be
          required with respect to any event or circumstance which is the same
          or substantially the same as an event or circumstance with respect to
          which notice and opportunity to cure has been given within the
          previous six months.

     C.   Termination by Company Without Cause

          The Employment Period shall terminate on the date the Company provides
          the Employee with written notice that the Company is exercising its
          rights under this Section IV(C) to terminate the Employment Period
          without Cause.

                                       4
<PAGE>

     D.   Termination by Employee for Good Reason

          The Employment Period shall terminate thirty days following the date
          the Employee provides the Company with written notice that the
          Employee is exercising her right under this Section IV(D) to terminate
          the Employment Period for good reason.  For purpose of this Agreement
          "GOOD REASON" shall mean:

          (i)   an intentional, willful and material failure of the Company to
                meet its obligations in any material respect under this
                Agreement which remains uncured after the Employee has provided
                written notice of such failure and one week has elapsed
                following such notice without the Company curing (or taking
                substantial steps to cure) such failure; provided, however, that
                such notice and lapse of time shall not be required with respect
                to any event or circumstance which is the same or substantially
                the same as an event or circumstance with respect to which
                notice and an opportunity to cure has been given within the
                previous six months;

          (ii)  a substantial adverse diminution in the nature or status of the
                Employee's responsibilities with the Company;

          (iii) a requirement of the Employee to relocate her residence greater
                than 100 miles from her then current residence without her
                consent and an exercise by the Employee of her right under this
                Section IV(D) within sixty (60) days after such request. In the
                event the Company and Employee agree to a relocation, the
                Company will agree to pay the reasonable costs of relocating
                Employee.

     E.   Termination by Employee Without Good Reason

          The Employment Period shall end thirty (30) days following the date
          the Employee provides the Company with written notice that Employee is
          exercising her right under this Section IV(E) to terminate the
          Employment Period without good reason.

     F.   Consequence of Termination Under This Section IV

          The table at the end of this Section IV(F) sets out the consequences
          of a termination of the Employment Period on the Effective Termination
          Date or the Expiration Date, as applicable.  Such consequences are as
          follows:

          (i) Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. If the Company
              exercises its right to terminate the Employment Period prior to
              the Expiration Date without Cause, or if Employee exercises her
              right to terminate the Employment Period prior to the Expiration
              Date for good reason, the Company shall be obligated to pay
              Employee (a) any Base Salary that was accrued but not yet paid as
              of the Effective Termination Date; and (b) as severance pay, the
              continuation of the Employee's Base Salary for a period of twelve
              (12) months following such termination,

                                       5
<PAGE>

                payable in equal monthly installments (such amount to be payable
                regardless of whether (x) Employee obtains other employment and
                is compensated therefor, or (y) Employee dies prior to the
                expiration of such twelve month severance period, but only for
                so long as Employee is not in violation of Section V hereof).
                The foregoing notwithstanding, the parties acknowledge and agree
                that the severance payments to be made pursuant to (b) above
                shall be expressly conditioned upon the Employee's execution of
                an agreement that releases the Company from actions, suits,
                claims, proceedings and demands related to the period of
                employment and/or the termination of employment.

          (ii)  Termination With Cause, Without Good Reason or Upon Expiration
                Date If the Employee's employment terminates upon the Expiration
                Date, or if the Company exercises its right to terminate the
                Employment Period with Cause or if Employee exercises her right
                to terminate the Employment Period without good reason, the
                Company shall be obligated to pay Employee any Base Salary that
                was accrued but not yet paid as of the Effective Termination
                Date.

          (iii) Termination Upon Death or Disability. If the Employment Period
                is terminated because of the death or disability of Employee,
                the Company shall be obligated to pay Employee or, if
                applicable, Employee's estate any Base Salary that was accrued
                but not yet paid as of the Effective Termination Date.

    B. During the Employment Period and for a period of one (1) year after the
       termination, for any reason, of the Employment Period, Employee shall
       not, (i) directly or indirectly act in concert or conspire with any
       person employed by the Company in order to engage in or prepare to engage
       in or to have a financial or other interest in any business which is a
       Direct Competitor; (ii) serve as an employee, agent, partner,
       shareholder, director or consultant for, or in any other capacity
       participate, engage or have a financial or other interest in any business

       anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Employee may own up
       to 2% of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of a company whose
       securities are registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act
       of 1934); (iii) solicit, or accept if offered to her, with or without

       Employment Period.

    C. The Company has advised Employee and Employee acknowledges 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. Employee shall not at any time, 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 Employee's employment), nor use in any manner, either during the
       Employment Period or after the termination, for any reason, of the
       Employment Period, any Protected Information, or cause any such
       information of

                                       7
<PAGE>

       the Company to enter the public domain. "Protected Information" means
       trade secrets, confidential and proprietary business information of the

       memoranda, marketing plans, internal policies, and products and services
       which may be developed from time to time by the Company and its agents or
       employees, including Employee; provided, however, that information that
       is in the public domain (other than as a result of a breach of this
       Agreement), approved for release by the Company or lawfully obtained from
       third parties who are not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the
       Company, is not Protected Information.

    D. The Employee recognizes and agrees that all ideas, inventions,
       enhancements, plans, writings, and other developments or improvements
       (the "INVENTIONS") conceived by the Employee, alone or with others,
       during the term of her employment, whether or not during working hours,
       that are within the scope of the Company's business operations or that
       relate to any of the Company's work or projects, are the sole and
       exclusive property of the Company. The Employee further agrees that (1)
       she will promptly disclose all Inventions to the Company and hereby
       assigns to the Company all present and future rights she has or may have
       in those Inventions, including without limitation those relating to
       patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets; and (2) all of the
       Inventions eligible under the copyright laws are "work made for hire." At
       the request of and without charge to the Company, the Employee will do
       all things deemed by the Company to be reasonably necessary to perfect
       title to the Inventions in the Company and to assist in obtaining for the
       Company such patents, copyrights or other protection as may be provided
       under law and desired by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
       Company hereby notifies the Employee that the provisions of this Section
       V(D) shall not apply to any Inventions for which no equipment, supplies,
       facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and which
       were developed entirely on the Employee's own time, unless (1) the
       Invention relates (i) to the business of the Company, or (ii) to actual
       or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company, or
       (2) the Invention results from any work performed by the Employee for the
       Company.

    E. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions imposed upon her
       by this Section V and the purpose for such restrictions are reasonable
       and are designed to protect the Protected Information and the continued
       success of the Company without unduly restricting Employee's future
       employment by others. Furthermore, Employee acknowledges that in view of
       the Protected Information of the Company which she has or will acquire or
       has or will have access to and the necessity of the restrictions
       contained in this Section V, any violation of the provisions of this
       Section V 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, Employee consents and agrees that
       if she violates any of the provisions of this Section V, the Company and
       its successors in interest as the case may be, shall be entitled, in
       addition to any other remedies

                                       8

       that they may have, including monetary damages, to an injunction to be
       issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, restraining Employee from
       committing or continuing any violation of this Section V.
