     Without in any way limiting or waiving any right or remedy accorded to
Company or any limitation placed upon Executive by law, Executive agrees as
follows:

          (a) Confidential Information: Executive agrees that, neither during
              ------------------------
the Term nor at anytime thereafter shall Executive (i) disclose to any person,
firm or corporation not employed by the Company or any affiliate of either (the
"Protected Company") or not engaged to render services to any Protected Company
or (ii) use for the benefit of himself, or others, any confidential information
of any Protected Company obtained by the Executive prior to the execution of

financial data, operational methods, marketing and sales information or
strategies, product development techniques or plans or any strategies relating
thereto, technical processes, designs and design projects, and other proprietary
information of any Protected Company; provided, however, that this provision
shall not preclude the Executive from (x) upon advice of counsel and notice to
the Company, making any disclosure required by any applicable law or (y) using
or disclosing information known generally to the public (other than information
known generally to the public as a result of any violation of this Section
5(a)).

          (b) Property of Company. Any interest in trademarks, service-marks,
              -------------------
copyrights, copyright applications, patents, patent applications, slogans,
developments and processes which the Executive, during the Term, may develop
relating to the business of the Company in which the Company may then be engaged
and any memoranda, notes, lists, records and other documents (and all copies
thereof) made or compiled by the Executive or made available to the Executive
concerning the business of any Protected Company shall belong and remain in the
possession of any Protected Company, and shall be delivered to the Company
promptly upon the termination of the Executive's employment with Company or at
any other time on request.

          (c) Non-Interference. Executive will not, during the Term hereof and
              ----------------
for a period of one (1) year after the Term induce any person who is an employee
of the Company to terminate his relationship with the Company.

          (d) Non-Competition. Without the prior written consent of the Company,
              ---------------
Employee shall not be employed by the Internet gaming divisions of Magna, Inc.,
TVG, Inc.

                                       5

<PAGE>

or by any other Internet gaming division of a direct competitor of the Company
during, or for one year after the termination of, his employment with the
Company. The parties agree that, as of the date this Agreement is being
executed, the only existing competitors of the Company are the Internet gaming
divisions of Magna, Inc. and TVG, Inc.

     6.   OTHER PROVISIONS:

          (a) Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. If the Executive breaches, or
              -------------------------------
threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of Section 5 hereof (the
"Restrictive Covenants"), the Company shall have the following rights and
remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other
and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the
Company at law or in equity.

          (b) Severability of Covenants. If any court determines that any of the
              -------------------------
Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the
                          ---
remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall
be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.

          (c) Blue-Penciling. If any court construes any of the Restrictive
              --------------
Covenants, or any part thereof, to be unenforceable because of the duration or
geographic scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce
the duration or scope of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision
shall then be enforceable.

          (d) Enforceability in Jurisdictions. The parties intend to and hereby
              -------------------------------
confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the courts of any
jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive Covenants. If the
courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive Covenants
unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the
intention of the parties that such determination not bar or in any way affect
Company's right to the relief provided in this Section 6 in the courts of any
other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such Restrictive Covenants,
as to breaches of such Restrictive Covenants in such other respective
jurisdictions, such Restrictive Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction
being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

          (f) Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees and understands that the
              -----------------
remedy at law for any breach by Executive of the provisions of Section 5 hereof
may be inadequate and that damages resulting from such breach may not be
susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, it is acknowledged
that upon Executive's breach of any provision of Section 5 hereof, the Company
shall be entitled to seek to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction
injunctive relief to prevent the continuation of such breach. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit the Company's remedies at law or in equity for
any breach of the provisions of Section 5 hereof which may be available to the
Company.

     7.   TERMINATION:

          (a) Termination Upon Death. If, during the Term, Executive dies,
              -----------------------------------------------------------
Executive shall be entitled to receive Executive's Annual Salary, any unpaid
bonus for the prior year, accrued share of the Bonus for that Fiscal Year and
unused vacation, if any, and Fringe Benefits earned through the date of
Executive's death. In addition, Executive shall receive all vested options, and
all unvested options of the Executive shall vest during the periods described in
Section 3(c) of this Agreement. All such options shall be exercisable for up to
five years from the date of vesting.

          (b) Termination Upon Disability. If, during the Term, Executive should
              ---------------------------
become so physically or mentally disabled whether totally or partially, that
Executive is unable to perform the duties, functions and responsibilities
required hereunder for (i) a period of at least six (6) consecutive months or
(ii) shorter periods aggregating at least twelve (12) months ("Disability"),
then in such event, Company may, at any time thereafter, by written notice to
Executive, terminate Executive's employment hereunder. Executive agrees to
submit to reasonable medical examinations upon the request of Company to
determine whether he has a Disability. The determination of whether or not
Executive is subject to a Disability shall be made jointly by the Executive's
doctor (the "Executive's Doctor") and by a board certified doctor selected by
Company of the appropriate recognized field of medicine or psychiatric practice
who has examined Executive (the "Company's Doctor"). If the Executive's Doctor
and the Company's Doctor cannot agree on such determination, then they shall
select a mutually agreeable board certified doctor or practitioner of the
appropriate recognized field of medicine or psychiatric practice (the "Third
Doctor") to make the determination. After the Third Doctor has examined the
Executive and reviewed the findings of the Executive's Doctor and the Company's
Doctor, the Third Doctor shall determine whether the Executive has a Disability,
and his or her determination shall be final and binding. The Company and
Executive shall pay for the cost and expense of their own doctors, and the
Company shall pay for the cost of the Third Doctor, should the Third Doctor be
required. If Executive's services or his employment with the Company are
terminated, as aforesaid, Executive shall be entitled to receive Executive's
Annual Salary, any unpaid bonus for the prior year, accrued share of the Bonus
for that Fiscal Year and unused vacation, if any, and Fringe Benefits earned
through the date of Executive's termination. In addition, Executive shall
receive all vested options, and all unvested options of the Executive shall vest
during the periods described in Section 3(c) of this Agreement. All such options
shall be exercisable for up to five years from the date of vesting.

          (c) Designation of Beneficiary. The parties hereto agree that the
              --------------------------
Executive shall designate, by written notice to the Company, a beneficiary to
receive the payments and options described in Section 7 in the event of his
death and the Executive may change the designation of any such beneficiary from
time to time by written notice to the Company. In the event the Executive fails
to designate a beneficiary as herein provided, any payments which are to be made
to the Executive's designated beneficiary under Section 7 shall be made to the
Executive's widow, if any, during her lifetime. If the Executive has no
designees or widow, such payments shall be paid to the Executive's estate.

                                       7

     Any act or omission of the Executive based upon authority given pursuant to
the Articles of Incorporation of the Company or Bylaws of the Company or a
resolution duly adopted by the Company's Board of Directors or based upon the
advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively deemed to be done by
Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

     The Company shall have the option to terminate the services of Executive if
there is "Cause" as defined above. If Executive's services are terminated as set
forth in this subsection, Executive's services shall cease as of such effective
date of termination and all compensation shall cease as of such effective date.

          (e) Termination With Good Reason or Without Cause. If during the Term

<PAGE>

               (iii) For the remainder of the Term, the Company shall continue
benefits, at its expense, to Executive and his immediate family at least equal
to those which would have been provided to him and them in accordance with the
plans, programs, practices and policies of the Company if his employment had not
ended or, if more favorable to Executive, as in effect generally at any time
thereafter with respect to other executives of the Company and their families,
provided, however, that if Executive becomes reemployed with another employer
and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another

shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such
applicable period of eligibility.

order to mitigate his damages or to be entitled to the benefits and payments
above. During the first year after the termination of his employment, the
Company shall not be entitled to set off against such benefits and payments due
or any other amounts of money payable to Executive any amounts he earns in other
employment or engagement after the termination of his employment with the
Company without Cause or for Good Reason or any amounts that he might or could
have earned in other employment had he sought such other employment. After the
first year following the termination of his employment, Executive shall be
required to seek other employment or take other action in order to mitigate his
damages to be entitled to the benefits and payments after such first year. After
the first year following the termination of his employment, Company may set off
against such benefits and payments due or any other amounts of money payable to
Executive amounts he earns in other employment or engagement after the first
year following the termination of his employment with the Company without Cause
or for Good Reason or any amounts that he might or could have earned in other
employment had he not failed to seek such other employment.
