agreement that has not been cured within thirty (30) days of receipt by ▇▇▇▇▇▇
of written notice of such breach and which causes substantial damage to the
reputation, business or property of the Corporation or any of the Corporation's
subsidiaries, any of the Corporation's affiliates or any of the Corporation's
(or any affiliates') customers; (ii) a continued failure of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ after thirty

(or any affiliate); (iv) conviction of a felony; and (v) substantial, continuing
and willful improper performance or non-performance of any of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ material
duties hereunder after thirty (30) days written notice to cure as aforesaid. For

shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in
good faith or without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the
best interests of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall
not be deemed to have been terminated for cause without (i) thirty (30) days'
notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ setting forth the reasons for the Corporation's intention to

Corporation's termination of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment for cause and specifying the
particulars thereof in detail.
(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may terminate his employment under this agreement for
Good Reason (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this agreement, "Good
Reason" shall mean (i) a failure by the Corporation to comply with, or the
breach by the Corporation of, any material provision of this agreement, which
noncompliance shall have a material adverse effect upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and which shall
not have been cured within thirty (30) days after notice of such noncompliance
has been given by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the Corporation pursuant to this agreement, (ii) if
▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ management functions, duties, or responsibilities or any other material
aspect of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment shall have been materially and adversely changed
or diminished by the Corporation, (iii) if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall cease to be President,
Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer

purported termination of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment which is not properly effected
pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of subsection
(d) below (and for purposes of this agreement no such purported termination
shall be effective), or (v) the failure of FPC, on or prior to the date of any
merger, consolidation or any similar transaction, to obtain the written
assumption by any successor to the business of FPC of FPC's obligations
hereunder.
(c) Any termination of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment by the Corporation or by
▇▇▇▇▇▇ (other than termination by reason of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ death or disability as set
forth in Section 15 below) shall be communicated by written Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this agreement, a "Notice
of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this agreement relied upon and shall set forth in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment under the provision so indicated.
(d) "Date of Termination" shall mean (i) if ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment is
terminated by his death, the date of his death, (ii) if ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment is
terminated pursuant to subsection (c) above, the date specified in the Notice of
Termination, and (iii) if ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment is terminated for any other
reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given; provided that if
within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given the party
receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute
exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the date on
which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written agreement of
the parties, by a binding and final arbitration award or by a final judgment,
order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for appeal
therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected).
8. Compensation Upon Termination or During Disability.
(a) During any period that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to perform his duties
hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness
("disability period"), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall continue to receive his full salary at the
rate then in effect for such period and all employment benefits due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇
until his employment is terminated pursuant to Section 7 above and Section 15
below, provided that payments so made to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ during the disability period
shall be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, payable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at or
prior to the time of any such payment under disability benefit plans of the
Corporation and which were not previously applied to reduce any such payment.
Within thirty (30) days of the termination of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment due to
disability, the Corporation shall pay to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ all salary and employment
benefits due to him accrued through the date of such termination.
(b) If ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment shall be properly terminated for cause
pursuant to all of the applicable provisions of this agreement, the Corporation
shall pay ▇▇▇▇▇▇ his full salary only through the Date of Termination at the
rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given and the Corporation
shall have no further obligations to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ under or pursuant to this Agreement.

terminate ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment other than pursuant to subsection 7 (a) above
(termination for cause) or
4
5
Section 15 below (termination by reason of death or disability)(it being
understood that a purported termination by the Corporation pursuant to
subsection 7 (a) above or Section 15 below which is disputed and finally
determined not to have been proper shall be deemed a termination by the
Corporation in breach of this agreement) or (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall terminate his
employment for Good Reason, then
(I) the Corporation shall pay ▇▇▇▇▇▇ his full salary and all
employment benefits due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ through the Date of Termination at the rate in
effect at the time the Notice of Termination is given; and
(II) the Corporation shall pay to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as severance pay (and not
as a penalty to the Corporation), an amount equal to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ annual base salary
for the period from the Date of Termination through the expiration of the Term,
such payment to be made in a lump sum on the Date of Termination in the event of
termination by the Corporation under 8(c)(i) above, and on or before the third
business day following the Date of Termination in the event of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
termination under 8(c)(ii) above;
(d) The Corporation may withhold from any payments or other benefits
payable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to this Section 8 or any other provision of this
agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant
to any law, government regulation or ruling.
(e) In addition to any compensation otherwise required hereunder
upon termination, if (i) in breach of this agreement, the Corporation shall
terminate ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment other than pursuant to subsection 7 (a) above
(termination for cause) or Section 15 below (termination by reason of death or
disability)(it being understood that a purported termination by the Corporation
pursuant to subsection 7 (a) above or Section 15 below which is disputed and
finally determined not to have been proper shall be deemed a termination by the
Corporation in breach of this agreement) or (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall terminate his
employment for Good Reason, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right (the "Put") to
require the Corporation to purchase from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ all or any portion of the shares
of capital stock and warrants, options or other securities exercisable for or
convertible into capital stock of the Corporation (collectively, "Convertible
Securities") then owned by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Upon exercise of the Put by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the
Corporation shall pay ▇▇▇▇▇▇ an amount equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by
the number of shares of capital stock and Convertible Securities subject to the
Put (the "Put Purchase Price"), minus the exercise price or conversion price of
the Convertible Securities, if any, subject to the Put. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall exercise
this Put right by giving the Corporation written notice of exercise (the "Put
Notice") at any time during the ten (10) day period commencing on the Date of
Termination. The Purchase Price shall mean the fair market value of the shares
of capital stock of the Corporation determined by the average of the closing
sale prices of such shares on the stock exchange, securities association or
automated quotation system on which such shares are then traded or quoted for
the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Date of
Termination or, if such shares are not then traded or quoted on any such
exchange, association or system, the fair market value of the shares as mutually
determined by the Corporation and ▇▇▇▇▇▇. The Put Purchase Price shall be
payable in one lump sum payment, in immediately available funds, on a date
within five (5) business days of the date on which the Put Notice is given.
Against receipt of payment in full of the Put Purchase Price on such date,
▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall deliver to the Corporation all certificates
5
6
representing the securities subject to the Put. Such certificates shall be
accompanied by executed stock powers or similar transfer documents relating to
the Convertible Securities.
9. Intentionally omitted.
10. Disclosure of Information. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ recognizes and acknowledges
that the trade secrets and know how of FPC and its subsidiaries as they may
exist from time to time are a valuable, special and unique asset of the
businesses of such companies, access to and knowledge of which are essential to
the performance of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ duties hereunder. For the purposes of this
agreement, Confidential Information includes any and all information disclosed
or made available to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in consequence of or through his employment by the
Corporation and not generally known in the industries in which FPC and its
subsidiaries or any of the customers of FPC and its subsidiaries is or may be
engaged, or which is beneficial to FPC or its subsidiaries, or any of the
customers of FPC or its subsidiaries, in the promotion or operation of their
respective businesses, (ii) relating to the business, business practices,
operation, affairs, practices, procedures, policies or methods of FPC or its
subsidiaries, (iii) customer lists, (iv) marketing information and (v) training
materials. Since the services of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ are unique, extraordinary and of a
specialized character which will require ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to handle Confidential
Information of FPC and FPC's subsidiaries and such companies' suppliers and
customers, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not, at any time during the term of this agreement or
thereafter, make use of any Confidential Information for the benefit of any
person or entity (other than FPC or its subsidiaries) nor shall ▇▇▇▇▇▇ disclose
any Confidential Information to any person or entity for any reason or purpose
whatsoever.
11. Covenants Not to Solicit. For the six (6) month-period
immediately following the earlier of the termination of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment
hereunder or the date of expiration of this agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, whether as a
proprietor, partner, employee, agent, consultant, director, officer, controlling
stockholder or in any other capacity whatsoever, shall not, without the consent
of FPC or of any of its subsidiaries, (a) solicit any Business Associate (as
hereinafter defined) for the purpose of interfering with, disrupting or
attempting to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise between FPC
and/or any of its subsidiaries and such Business Associate, or (b) request any
Business Associate to cancel, curtail or divert his, her or its business with
FPC and/or any of its subsidiaries. For purposes hereof, the term "Business
Associate" means any person or entity that, to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ knowledge, is, at the
time of any such solicitation or request, a customer, client, or employee of FPC
and/or any of its subsidiaries with whom ▇▇▇▇▇▇ had any direct or indirect
contact during his employment hereunder. However, notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 11, it is understood that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, in good faith,
contact all customers and clients of FPC and/or any of its subsidiaries
originated by or otherwise brought to FPC and/or any of its subsidiaries by
▇▇▇▇▇▇ during the term of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment by the Corporation in connection
with establishing any other business enterprises subsequent to the expiration or
termination of this agreement.
12. Return of Documents. Upon termination of employment with the
Corporation, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall promptly return to the Corporation all documents,
notes, records and other materials of FPC and/or any of its subsidiaries in
▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ possession, whether prepared by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or others. However, ▇▇▇▇▇▇
shall be entitled to retain copies of all such documents,
6

notes, records and other materials and may use same subject only to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
covenants set forth in Section 10 ("Disclosure of Information") and Section 11
("Covenants Not to Solicit").

It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of Sections 10,
11 and 12 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and
public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
Accordingly, if any portion or portions of such Sections 10, 11 or 12 shall be
adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such Sections shall be deemed

operation of such Sections in the particular jurisdiction in which such
adjudication is made. The provisions of Sections 10, 11, 12 and 14 shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of this agreement.
14. Injunctive Relief. If there is a breach or threatened breach of
any of the provisions of Sections 10, 11 or 12 of this agreement, the
Corporation shall be entitled to an injunction restraining ▇▇▇▇▇▇ from such

pursuing any other remedies for such breach or threatened breach.

terminate upon the death or, at the election of the Corporation, the physical or
mental disability of ▇▇▇▇▇▇. For purposes of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be
deemed to be disabled if he is unable to perform his services for twelve (12)
consecutive months. If the Corporation elects to terminate this agreement

Corporation's decision to terminate ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ employment hereunder by means of a
Notice of Termination pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d) of Section 7

forth in Sections 8 and 9 above.

after mailing, or on the date personal delivery is effected, as the case may be.
17. Waiver of Breach. The waiver by a party of a breach of any
provision of this agreement by another party shall not operate or be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent or other breach by such other party. Any waiver
must be in writing.
18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
of the parties hereto with respect to Executive's employment by the Corporation,
and all prior agreements and arrangements are hereby superceded in all respects
from and after the date hereof. This Agreement may not be waived, changed,

construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York without regard to the application of conflict of laws.
20. Severability. If any provision of this agreement is found to be
void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions of this agreement shall nevertheless be binding upon the Corporation
and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with the same effect as though the void or unenforceable provision
had been severed and deleted.
21. Conflict. If any provision of this agreement is found to be in
conflict with any provision of any other agreement to which the Corporation and
▇▇▇▇▇▇ are parties, the provision of such other agreement shall control.

and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with regard to this agreement, such dispute shall be promptly
submitted to and decided by arbitration by the American Arbitration Association
in the City and County of New York in accordance with the Expedited Procedures
of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final, shall include an award of
reasonable legal fees and costs to the prevailing party as determined by the
arbitrator(s) and judgment may be entered upon the award in accordance with
applicable law in any court having jurisdiction.

personal to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and shall not be assignable; provided, however, all of
▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ rights to compensation following his death shall inure to the benefit
of his surviving spouse, his estate or other legal representatives as the case
may be. Any person, firm, corporation or entity succeeding to the business of
FPC and/or FPC Information Corp. by merger, purchase, consolidation or otherwise
shall assume by contract or operation of law all obligations of the Corporation
hereunder; provided, however, the Corporation shall, notwithstanding such
