committees is approved by the Chairman) and to use the Executive's professional
efforts, skill and ability to promote the Company's interests. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Executive may devote an insignificant amount of time to other
business activities outside the scope of such employment if such business
activities and devotion of such time are approved by the Chairman.
2. Term of Employment.
------------------
2.1 The Term. The term of the Executive's employment under this
Agreement (the "Term") shall commence on November 30, 2001 and shall end on
November 30,
<PAGE>
2007, unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4 hereof. The date the Term
ends is hereinafter referred to as the "Termination Date".
3. Compensation; Benefits.
----------------------
3.1 Salary. As compensation for all services to be rendered pursuant
to this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay the Executive during the Term a
base salary, at the annual rate of $1.00; provided, however, if the options (the
"Options") granted to the Executive pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement
referred to in Section 3.6 fail to become effective for any reason, the base
salary shall be increased to $450,000 per annum, retroactive to the commencement
date of Executive's employment.
3.2 Bonus. In addition to the amounts to be paid to the Executive
pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, the Executive will be entitled to receive such
annual bonus and long term incentive compensation as determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in its discretion and approved
by the Board of Directors; provided that if the stock options granted to the
Executive pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement referred to in Section 3.6 fail
to become effective for any reason, the Executive will be eligible to receive a
cash bonus based upon the attainment of performance goals set by the Board of
Directors with Executive's target annual bonus amount of up to $250,000. Each
annual bonus in respect of a fiscal years shall be paid when annual bonuses are
paid generally to the Company's other senior executive officers but in no event
later than the ninetieth day of the next fiscal year.
3.3 Business Expenses. The Company shall pay for or reimburse the
Executive for all reasonable first-class travel and other expenses actually
incurred by or paid by the Executive during the Term in the performance of the
Executive's services under this Agreement, including the cost and expense
associated with the use (including related personal use) of a cellular
telephone, upon presentation of expense statements or vouchers or such other
supporting information as the Company customarily may require of its officers.
3.4 Vacation. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to a
vacation period or periods of four (4) weeks per year taken in accordance with
the vacation policy of the Company during each year of the Term. Vacation time
not used by the end of a calendar year shall be forfeited.
3.5 Fringe Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be
entitled to all benefits for which the Executive shall be eligible under any
qualified pension plan, 401(k) plan, group insurance or other so-called fringe
benefit plan which the Company provides to its executive employees generally,
together with executive medical benefits for the Executive, as from time to time
in effect for executive employees of the Company generally.
3.6 Stock Options. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the executive is being granted options to purchase 3,950,000
shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the
"Common Stock")

<PAGE>
pursuant to the terms of the Stock Option Plan and related Stock Option
Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to approval by the
Stockholders of an amendment to the "Stock Option Plan" to increase the number
of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan and
of the grant of those options.
3.7 Alternative Options. In the event the Options do not become
effective, the Stock Option Agreement shall be deemed to be an option to
purchase 150,000 shares (rather than 3,950,000 shares) of Common Stock. Subject
to any approval of the stockholders of the Company required by listing
requirements applicable to the Common Stock, on each anniversary thereof on
which the Executive continues to be employed, the Executive shall receive an
additional option to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the
terms of the Stock Option Plan and related Stock Option Agreement on terms and
conditions approved by the committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
which administers the Stock Option Plan. In the event that stockholder approval
of the annual option grant is not obtained and such approval is required solely
because of the aggregate number of options which may be issued during the Term,
such aggregate number of options shall be reduced to that number which does not
require stockholder approval by first reducing the number of options the
Executive is entitled to receive on the sixth anniversary of the commencement
date of employment and thereafter reducing the number of options, if necessary,
he is entitled to receive on the fifth anniversary and so on.
4. Termination.
-----------
4.1 Death. If the Executive shall die during the Term, the Term

six months during any twelve month period, the Company may at any time after the
last day of the six consecutive months of disability or the day on which the
shorter periods of disability shall have equaled an aggregate of six months, by
written notice to the Executive (but before the Executive has recovered from
such disability), terminate the Term.

intentional failure or refusal to perform or observe any of his material duties,
responsibilities or obligations set forth in this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be deemed to have Cause pursuant to this clause (i)

in connection with the termination of the Executive's employment for Cause or
disability or by the Executive other than for Good Reason or (ii) breach by the
Company of its obligations under Section 3 hereof or any other material breach
of this Agreement by the Company which is continuing; provided, however, that
the Executive shall not be deemed to have Good Reason unless the Executive gives
the Company written notice that the specified conduct or event has occurred and
the Company fails to cure such conduct or event within thirty (30) days of
receipt of such notice.
(b) The Term may be terminated by the Executive at any time by
giving the Company a notice of termination specifying a termination date no less
than sixty (60) days after the date the notice is given.
4.5 Severance. If the Term is terminated pursuant to Section 4.1,

ninetieth day of the next fiscal year.
5. Restrictive Covenants.
---------------------
5.1 Confidential Information; Company Property. In view of the fact
that the Executive's work for the Company will bring the Executive into close
contact with many confidential affairs of the Company not readily available to
the public, as well as plans for future developments by the Company, the
Executive agrees:
5.1.1 Protection of Confidential Information. At all
times, to keep and retain in the strictest confidence all
confidential matters of the Company, including, without limitation,
know how, trade secrets, customer lists, pricing
4
<PAGE>
policies, operational methods, technical processes, formulae,
inventions and research projects, and other business affairs of the
Company ("Confidential Information"), learned by the Executive
heretofore or hereafter, and not to use or disclose them to anyone
outside of the Company, either during or after the Executive's
employment with the Company, except in the course of performing the
Executive's duties hereunder or with the Company's express written
consent; provided, however, that the restrictions of this Section
5.1.1 shall not apply to that part of the Confidential Information
that the Executive demonstrates is or becomes generally available to
the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Executive
or is available, or becomes available, to the Executive on a
non-confidential basis, but only if the source of such information
is not prohibited from transmitting the information to the Executive
by a contractual, legal, fiduciary, or other obligation; and
5.1.2 Return of Company Property. To deliver promptly to
the Company on termination of the Executive's employment by the
Company, or at any time the Company may so request, all memoranda,
notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints and other
documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the Company's
business and all property associated therewith, which the Executive
may then possess or have under the Executive's control and which
came into the Executive's possession or under his control as a
result of his employment by the Company.
5.2 Non-Competition. During the Term and for a period of 18 month
after the termination of the Executive's employment for any reason whatsoever,
the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either through employment or
otherwise, render services similar to those performed for Marvel for, or become
a director of, any person, firm or corporation engaged in any business which
materially competes with the business of the Company or of any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates.
5.3 Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for a period of 18 months
after the termination of the Executive's employment for any reason whatsoever,
the Executive shall not (a) solicit, recruit or hire any person who is an
employee of the Company at the Termination Date (or was an employee of the
Company within three months prior to the Termination Date) prior to the
expiration of a six (6) month period after such employee's termination of
employment with the Company, (b) solicit or encourage any person who is an
employee of the Company to leave the employment of the Company or (c) solicit
any customer, vendor or other entity having a business relationship with the
Company with respect to any of the products or services provided to or by the
Company if such solicitation, if successful, could reasonably be expected to
result in an adverse effect upon the Company's relationship with that customer,
vendor or other entity.
5.4 Availability for Litigation. Following the Term, Executive
agrees that he shall at all times make himself reasonably available to assist in
connection with litigation involving the Company and the Company shall reimburse
Executive for all out-of-pocket expenses he may incur in connection with
rendering such assistance.
5
<PAGE>
5.5 Non-Disparagement. The Company and Executive each agree that
they shall at all times not directly or indirectly make any disparaging or
negative statements about the other.
5.6 Specific Performance. If the Executive commits a breach, or
threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3
or 5.5 hereof, or the Company commits a breach or threatens to commit a breach
of the provisions of Section 5.5, the other party shall have the right and
remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any
court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such
breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company or the
Executive, as the case may be, and that money damages will not provide an
adequate remedy.
5.7 Surrender of Profits. If the Executive commits a breach of the
provisions of Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 hereof, in addition to the Company's
rights and remedies set forth in Section 5.6 hereof or otherwise, any profit
received by the Executive from any exercise of any option under the Stock Option
Agreement shall inure to and be repaid to the Company upon its demand. The
foregoing provision may be satisfied at the Executive's option by payment of
cash and/or tender of shares of Common Stock which are not Restricted Shares (as
defined in the Stock Option Agreement). Shares of Common Stock tendered pursuant
to this section shall be valued at the average of the daily closing sale prices
(or the equivalent in an over the counter market) for the Common Stock, on the
stock exchange or over the counter market that is the primary trading market for
the Common Stock, for the 10 consecutive days immediately preceding the date of
the tender.
5.8 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 through 5.5
hereof, or any part thereof, hereafter are construed to be invalid or
unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or
covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid
portions.
5.9 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 through 5.5.
hereof, or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable because of the
duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties hereto agree
that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the
duration and/or area of such provision and, in its reduced form, said provision
shall then be enforceable.
5.10 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to
enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 through 5.5 hereof upon the
courts of any state within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the
event that the courts of any one or more of such states shall hold such
covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such covenants or
otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not
bar or in any way affect the Company's right to the relief provided above in the
courts of any other states within the geographical scope of such covenants as to
breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above
covenants as they relate to each state being for this purpose severable into
diverse and independent covenants.
