or should have known that such consulting services would help such person
compete against the Company or GP, (B) having any interest (as owner,
principal, general or limited partner, agent, employee, officer, director,

traded company, (C) establishing an entity that engages in the business of
the Company or GP, (D) acquiring an existing entity that engages in such
4
business, (E) otherwise engaging in such business; (F) participating in the

(d) Inventions. Consultant hereby assigns to the Company Consultant's
entire right to all Company Inventions (as hereinafter defined), which will be
the sole and exclusive property of the Company whether or not subject to patent,
copyright, trademark, or trade secret protection. Consultant also acknowledges
that all original works of authorship that are made by Consultant (solely or
jointly with others), within the scope of Consultant's services hereunder, and
that are protectable by copyright, are "works made for hire," as that term is
defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. ▇▇.▇▇. 101, et seq.). To
the extent that any such works, by operation of law, cannot be "works made for
hire," Consultant hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest in
and to such works and to any related copyrights. "Company Inventions" means all
ideas, processes, trademarks and service marks, inventions, discoveries, and
improvements to any of the foregoing, that Consultant learned or learned of,
conceived or conceives of, developed or develops, or created or creates, alone
or with others during Consultant's employment with the Company or any
predecessor, affiliate, or successor thereof (whether or not conceived,
developed, or created during regular working hours) that directly or indirectly
arise from or relate to (i) the business, products, or services of the Company
or any predecessor, affiliate, or successor thereof, (ii) work performed for the
Company by Consultant or any other employee, agent, or contractor of the Company
or any predecessor, affiliate, or successor thereof, (iii) the use of the time
of the Company or any predecessor, affiliate, or successor thereof, or (iv)
access to the Confidential Information of the Company or any predecessor,
affiliate, or successor thereof. Consultant will promptly execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Company all additional instruments or documents deemed at any
time by the Company in its reasonable discretion to be necessary to carry out
the intentions of this Section 6(d).
(e) Acknowledgments. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that (i) the
Confidential Information of the Company and Company Inventions have substantial
value to the Company, (ii) the Confidential Information of the Company and
Company Inventions would be susceptible to immediate competitive application by
those outside of the Company, (iii) the Confidential Information of GP has
substantial value to GP, and (iv) the Confidential Information of GP would be
susceptible to immediate competitive application by those outside of GP, and
that, under these circumstances, the provisions of this Section 5 are fair and
reasonable.
(f) Survival. Consultant's obligations under this Section 5 will
survive the termination of this Agreement and will thereafter be enforceable.
(g) Remedies. Consultant acknowledges that, if Consultant breaches any
obligation under this Section 5, the Company and GP will suffer immediate and
irreparable harm and damage for which money alone cannot fully compensate the
Company and GP. Consultant therefore agrees that, upon such breach or threatened
breach of any obligation under this Section 5, the Company and GP will be
5
entitled to a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent
injunction or other injunctive relief, without posting any bond or other
security, compelling Consultant to comply with any or all such provisions. In
addition, if Consultant breaches any obligation under this Section 5, the
Company or GP may terminate this Agreement and the Term, and upon such
termination, the Company and GP will have no further obligation or liability
hereunder except that the Company will pay to Consultant the portion, if any, of
the Fees and any other amounts due and unpaid hereunder for the period through
the date of such termination. This Section 5 will not be construed as an
election of any remedy, or as a waiver of any right available to the Company or
GP under this Agreement or law, including the right to seek damages from
Consultant for a breach of any provision of this Agreement, nor will this
Section 5 be construed to limit the rights or remedies available under
applicable law for any violation of any provision of this Agreement. (h) The
Company. As used in this Section 5, the term "Company" shall include the Company
and any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, and the term "GP" shall include
GP and any subsidiary or affiliate of GP.
Section 6. Death.
If Consultant shall die during the Term, his services hereunder shall
terminate, and in such case:
(a) the Company will have no further obligation or liability hereunder
except that the Company shall pay to Consultant's spouse (or if he leaves no
spouse, to his estate or designated beneficiary), the Fees, and shall maintain
the benefits set forth in Section 3, for the benefit of Consultant's spouse,
each through the second anniversary of the Effective Date.
Section 7. Disability.
If, as a result of Consultant's incapacity due to physical or mental
illness, Consultant shall not have performed the services hereunder for 90
consecutive days or for an aggregate of more than 180 days in any 12 month
period, and within 90 days after the Company has notified Consultant of such
non-performance, he shall not have resumed performance of the services hereunder
which shall continue for a minimum of eight consecutive weeks thereafter, the
Company may terminate Consultant's services hereunder. In the case of such
termination, the Company will have no further obligation or liability hereunder
except that the Company shall pay to Consultant the Fees, and shall maintain the
benefits set forth in Section 3(b) for the benefit of Consultant and his spouse,
each through the second anniversary of the Effective Date.
Section 8. Benefits Not Otherwise Entitled To.

action, suits, debts, sums of money, covenants, agreements, promises, claims,
and demands whatsoever, whether known or unknown, in law or equity, whether
statutory or common law, whether federal, state, local, or otherwise
(collectively "Claims"), including, but not limited to, any claims relating to,
or arising out of any aspect of Consultant's employment with the Company, or the
termination of such employment, including, but not limited to:
(i) any and all claims of wrongful discharge, breach of the

labor or benefits law;

including, but not limited to, all claims under the following statutes and
the amendments thereto, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ("ADEA"), the Civil Rights Act of
1866, 42 U.S.C. ss. 1981, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986,
the New York State Executive Law, the New York City Human Rights Law, any

rights law; and
(iv) any and all claims for monetary recovery, including, but not
limited to, severance pay, back pay, front pay, liquidated, compensatory
and punitive damages, and attorneys' fees, disbursements and costs;
which against the Releasees, Consultant or Consultant's heirs, executors or
administrators, ever had, now have, or hereinafter can, shall, or may have, for,
upon, or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever from the beginning
of time to the Effective Date, other than Claims ("Unreleased Claims") relating
to the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement or of Consultant's rights
to indemnification under the Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws.
(b) The Company and GP, in consideration of this Agreement, releases
7
and forever discharges Consultant from all Claims, including, but not limited
to, any claims relating to, or arising out of any aspect of Consultant's
employment with the Company, or the termination of such employment, which
against Consultant the Company or GP ever had, now has, or hereinafter can,
shall, or may have, for, upon, or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing
whatsoever from the beginning of time to the Effective Date, other than Claims
relating to the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10. No Suits.
Consultant represents and warrants that he has never commenced or filed
and covenants and agrees never to commence, file or in any way prosecute or
cause to be commenced or prosecuted against the Releasees or any of them, any
action, charge, complaint or other proceedings, whether administrative,
judicial, legislative or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any action or
proceeding for damages, attorney's fees, disbursements, costs or equitable
relief based upon or seeking relief on account of actions or failures to act by
the Releasees which may have occurred or failed to occur prior to the Effective
Date, other than in connection with Unreleased Claims. Consultant agrees that in
the event he files any charge, complaint or commences any litigation of any kind
that is covered by this Agreement, he shall pay all of the reasonable attorneys'
fees, expenses and costs incurred by Releasees in responding to such action,
including, but not limited to, any consequential damages that Releasees, or any
of them, may suffer or incur. Consultant further represents that he will not
aid, abet or assist in any manner whatsoever any other third party in filing,
pursuing or maintaining any lawsuit, complaint, or charge against any of the
Releasees, except if compelled to do so by valid legal process or if otherwise
required to do so by law. The provisions of this Paragraph 11 shall be
inapplicable in any matters regarding the ADEA, should Consultant allege in good
faith that the waiver herein of his right to file an ADEA claim was not knowing
and voluntary.
Section 11. Knowing and Voluntary Waiver.
(a) Consultant agrees that this Agreement constitutes a knowing and
voluntary waiver of all Claims, other than the Unreleased Claims, Consultant may
have against the Releasees, or any of them, including, but not limited to, all
rights or claims arising under the ADEA, including, but not limited to, all
claims of age discrimination in employment and all claims of retaliation in
violation of the ADEA.
(b) This Agreement shall not affect the rights and responsibilities of
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the "EEOC") to enforce the ADEA and
other laws. Notwithstanding paragraph 10 above, this Agreement shall not be used
to justify interfering with Consultant's right to file a charge with the EEOC or
participate in an investigation or proceeding by the EEOC. However, should any
charge be filed with the EEOC, Consultant expressly waives all rights or claims
which arose prior to his execution of this Agreement that he may have against
the Releasees, or any of them, to receive any benefit or remedial relief
(including, but not limited to, reinstatement, back pay, front pay, damages, and
attorneys' fees) as a consequence of such EEOC filing, and of any litigation
concerning any facts alleged in any such charge.
8
(c) The Company, GP, and Consultant agree that, for a period of seven
days following his execution of this Agreement ("Revocation Period"), Consultant
has the right to revoke this Agreement by delivering notice in writing of such
revocation to the Company and GP. If Consultant gives such notice of revocation
within the Revocation Period, this Agreement shall be null and void. If no such
notice of revocation is delivered by Consultant within the Revocation Period,
this Agreement will be deemed fully effective and enforceable on the eighth day
after its execution by Consultant ("Effective Date").
(d) The Company and GP hereby advise Consultant to consult with his
attorney prior to executing this Agreement. Consultant further acknowledges that
the Company and GP have given him a period of at least 21 days in which to
consider this Agreement before executing this Agreement.
(e) Consultant's acceptance of the payments and benefits described
above, at any time subsequent to seven days after his execution of this
Agreement, shall constitute an admission by Consultant that he did not revoke
this Agreement during the Revocation Period of seven days, and shall further
constitute an admission by Consultant that this Agreement has become effective
and enforceable.
(f) If Consultant executed this Agreement at any time prior to the end
of the 21 day period that the Company and GP gave him in which to consider this
Agreement, such early execution was a knowing and voluntary waiver of
Consultant's right to consider this Agreement for at least 21 days, and was due
to Consultant's belief that he had ample time in which to consider and
understand this Agreement, and in which to review this Agreement with his
attorney.
Section 12. Non-Admission of Wrongdoing.
This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by the
Company or GP of any liability, or of any unlawful, discriminatory, or otherwise
wrongful acts whatsoever against the Consultant or any other person.
Section 13. Acknowledgment of Full Payments.
Consultant agrees that the Company has paid to him all of the wages,
commissions, bonuses and accrued vacation pay through the date of his execution
of this Agreement and that neither the Company nor GP owes no other wages,
commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, employee benefits, severance payments or
other compensation or payments of any kind or nature, other than as provided in
this Agreement.
Section 14. Binding Agreement.
9
Except as expressly permitted hereby, Consultant's rights and
obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferable by assignment or
otherwise, such rights shall not be subject to commutation, encumbrance, or the
claims of Consultant's creditors, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing
shall be void. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of Consultant and his personal or legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and
legatees, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its
successors, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of GP and its
successors. If Consultant should die while any amounts would still be payable to
him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise
provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to
Consultant's devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such
designee, to Consultant's estate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, GP shall have no responsibility for the obligations of the
Company hereunder.
Section 15. No Third Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating,
any rights enforceable by any person not a party to this Agreement (except as
provided in Section 14).
Section 16. Modification.
This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, supersedes all existing agreements between
them concerning such subject matter, and may be modified only by a written
instrument duly executed by each party.
Section 17. Notices.
Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by certified mail, return
receipt requested, or by Federal Express, Express Mail, or similar overnight
delivery or courier service or delivered (in person or by telecopy, telex, or
similar telecommunications equipment) against receipt to the party to whom it is
to be given at the address of such party set forth in the preamble to this
Agreement (or to such other address as the party shall have furnished in writing
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 17). Notice to the estate of
Consultant shall be sufficient if addressed to Consultant as provided in this
Section 17. Any notice or other communication given by certified mail shall be
deemed given at the time of certification thereof, except for a notice changing
a party's address which shall be deemed given at the time of receipt thereof.
Any notice given by other means permitted by this Section 18 shall be deemed
given at the time of receipt thereof.
Section 18. Waiver.
10
Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement
shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such
provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure
of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one
or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the
right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term
of this Agreement. Any waiver must be in writing.
Section 19. Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are solely for the convenience of
reference and shall be given no effect in the construction or interpretation of
this Agreement.
Section 20. Counterparts; Governing Law.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of

one and the same instrument. It shall be governed by and construed in accordance
