R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the future growth, profitability and success of the Company’s business will be substantially and materially enhanced by the employment of the Executive by the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive and the Executive has indicated his willingness to provide his services, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, on the basis of the foregoing premises and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Employment.

(a)           Duties.  The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive and the Executive hereby accepts employment with the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.  The Executive shall serve as President of the Company, as well as President of Master Data Center, Inc. (“MDC”), an affiliated company that is a subsidiary of IHI, or in any other senior executive capacity designated by IHI and, as agreed to in writing by the Executive.  The Company and MDC together are hereafter referred to as the “Business”.  In such capacity, the Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of IHI (the “CEO”) and shall have such duties as are typically performed by a President of a corporation, together with such additional duties, commensurate with the Executive’s position as President of a subsidiary of IHI, as may be assigned to the Executive from time to time by the CEO or Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”).

(b)           Location.  The principal location of the Executive’s employment initially shall be in East Haven, CT.  The Executive understands and agrees that he will be required to travel regularly to MDC in Southfield, MI and may be required to travel for business reasons.

Section 2. Term.  Unless terminated pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue during the initial period ending on the first anniversary of the date hereof (the “Initial Term”).  Thereafter, the Executive’s term of employment shall extend automatically for consecutive periods of one (1) year unless either party shall provide notice of non-renewal not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the end of the Employment Term.  The Initial Term, together with any extension pursuant to this Section 2, is referred to herein as the “Employment Term”.  In the event that the Company fails to renew the Employment Term by providing a notice of non-renewal to the Executive, the Company shall permit the Executive to spend time, during the normal working hours of such one hundred and twenty (120) day period, pursuing future employment or similar opportunities and such actions on the part of the Executive shall not be a breach or violation of this Agreement; provided, that such endeavors by the Executive do not materially interfere with the Executive’s duties hereunder or violate any of the provisions of Section 7 herein.

Section 3. Compensation.

(a)           Salary.  As compensation for the performance of the Executive’s services hereunder, the Company shall pay to the Executive a salary (the “Salary”) of $250,000 per annum, increased as of July 1 of each calendar year during the Employment Term (beginning on July 1, 2004) by the then-current inflation rate as reflected by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers for the New York Metropolitan Area, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor.  The Salary shall be payable in accordance with the payroll practices of the Company as the same shall exist from time to time for its senior executive employees.  In no event shall the Salary be decreased during the Employment Term.

(b)           Bonus Plan.  Beginning in the calendar year ending December 31, 2004, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus (“Bonus”) in an amount up to 50% of the Salary, based upon meeting performance goals for each calendar year during the Employment Term.  For the year ending December 31, 2003, the Executive shall be eligible to receive a cash bonus in an amount up to 25% of the Salary, at the discretion of the CEO.  Annual performance goals shall be mutually determined by the Executive, on the one hand, and the CEO or the Board of Directors, on the other hand.  Bonus amounts shall be paid on or before April 1 of the year immediately following the end of the calendar year to which the Bonus relates.  In the event of a termination of employment pursuant to Section 6(a), (b), (e), (f) or (g) below, the Company shall pay to the Executive or the Executive’s estate a prorated portion, through the date of termination and assuming the maximum performance of the goals for the entire calendar year, of the Bonus for the calendar year in

2

which such termination occurs.  In the event of such termination of employment, the prorated Bonus amount shall be paid no later than three (3) months following such termination.  For all purposes hereof, it is understood and agreed that the Executive need not be employed by the Company at the time that a Bonus amount is to be paid.

(c)           Benefits.  In addition to the Salary and Bonus, if any, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in health, insurance, pension and other benefits provided to other senior executives of the Company on terms no less favorable than those available to such senior executives of the Company.  The Executive shall also be entitled to the same number of vacation days, holidays, sick days and other benefits as are generally allowed to other senior executives the Company.

(d)           Stock Options.  At the next regularly scheduled meeting of the IHI Board of Directors following the Commencement Date, the Company shall grant to Executive options to purchase 50,000 shares of the common stock of IHI, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the option to purchase any one share of Common Stock hereafter referred to as an “Option”). Each Option shall have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as of its respective date of grant.  The Options shall be un-exercisable until vested.  The Options shall vest and become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year at the end of each full year after the grant date, provided Executive is then employed.  The Options shall be granted pursuant to the IHI 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) and shall be granted pursuant to a separate Stock Option Agreement to be executed on the date of grant.

Section 4. Exclusivity.  During the Employment Term, the Executive shall devote his full time to the Business, shall faithfully serve the Business, shall in all respects conform to and comply with the lawful and reasonable directions and instructions given to him by the CEO and Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall use his reasonable best efforts to promote and serve the interests of the Business and shall not engage in any other business activity, whether or not such activity shall be engaged in for pecuniary profit, except that the Executive may (i) participate in the activities of professional trade organizations related to the Business and (ii) engage in personal investing activities, provided that activities set forth in these clauses (i) and (ii), either singly or in the aggregate, do not interfere in any material respect with the services to be provided by the Executive hereunder.

Section 5. Reimbursement for Expenses.  The Executive is authorized to incur reasonable expenses in the discharge of

3

the services to be performed hereunder, including expenses for travel, entertainment, lodging and similar items in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy for senior executives (which is understood to be substantially equivalent to the policy in effect for IHI’s senior executives), as the same may be modified by the CEO or the Board of Directors from time to time.  The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all such proper expenses upon presentation by the Executive of itemized accounts of such expenditures in accordance with the financial policy of the company, as in effect from time to time.

(g)           Change of Control.  During the 90-day period following a Change of Control, the Executive shall have the right to immediately resign his employment.  A Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred:

Section 7. Non-Disclosure, Non-Interference and Inventions.

(a)           No Competing Employment.  The Executive acknowledges that the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7 are essential to protect the value of the Business and by his current employment with the Company and its affiliates, the Executive has obtained and will obtain such knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience and there is a substantial probability that such knowledge, know-how, contacts, training and experience could be used to the substantial advantage of a competitor of the Business or its subsidiaries and to the substantial detriment of the Business and IHI.  Therefore, the Executive agrees that for the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the first anniversary of the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder (such period is hereinafter referred to as the “Restricted Period”), the Executive shall not engage, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of any person or entity, in any business activities which directly compete with the intellectual property information business or intellectual property asset management services of the Business or any of its subsidiaries or which directly compete with any other product line of the Business or any subsidiary or affiliate that the Executive becomes directly responsible for in the course of his employment hereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude the Executive from owning less than 1% of the shares of a public company; and provided, further, that the foregoing restrictions do not encompass working for those who license their own intellectual property.

(b)           Nondisclosure of Confidential Information.  The Executive, except in connection with his employment hereunder, shall not disclose to any person or entity or use, either during the Employment Term or at any time thereafter, any proprietary information not in the public domain or generally known in the industry, in any form, acquired by the Executive while employed by the Company or any predecessor to the Company’s business or, if acquired following the Employment Term, such information which, to the Executive’s knowledge, has been acquired, directly or indirectly, from any person or entity owing a duty of confidentiality to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, relating to the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates.  The Executive agrees and acknowledges that all of such information, in any form, and copies and extracts thereof, are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Business, and upon termination of his employment with the Company, the Executive shall return to the Company the originals and all copies of any such information provided to or acquired by

8

the Executive in connection with the performance of his duties for the Company, and shall return to the Company all files, correspondence and/or other communications received, maintained and/or originated by the Executive during the course of his employment.

(c)           No Interference.  During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, whether for his own account or for the account of any other individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other business organization (other than the Business), directly or indirectly solicit, endeavor to entice away from the Business or its subsidiaries, or otherwise directly interfere with the relationship of the Business or its subsidiaries with, any person who, to the knowledge of the Executive, is employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for the Business or its subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, any independent sales representatives or organizations) or who is, or was within the then most recent twelve-month period, a customer or client of the Business, its predecessors or any of its subsidiaries.  The placement of any general classified or “help wanted” advertisements and/or general solicitations to the public at large shall not constitute a violation of this Section 7(c) unless the Executive’s name is contained in such advertisements or solicitations.

(d)           Inventions, etc.  The Executive hereby sells, transfers and assigns to the Company or to any person or entity designated by the Company all of the entire right, title and interest of the Executive in and to all inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements, whether patented or unpatented, and copyrightable material, made or conceived by the Executive, solely or jointly, during his employment by the Company which relate to methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes or devices, sold, leased, used or under consideration or development by the Business or any of its subsidiaries, or which otherwise relate to or pertain to the business, functions or operations of the Business or any of its subsidiaries or which arise from the efforts of the Executive during the course of his employment for the Company.  The Executive shall communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in such form as the Company requests, all information, details and data pertaining to the aforementioned inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements; and the Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company such formal transfers and assignments and such other papers and documents as may be necessary or required of the Executive to permit the Company or any person or entity designated by the Company to file and prosecute the patent applications and, as to copyrightable material, to obtain copyright thereof.  Any invention relating to the Business or any of its subsidiaries which is discovered, designed, implemented or developed by the Executive within one year following the termination of his employment with the Company shall be deemed to fall within the

9

provisions of this paragraph unless proved to have been first conceived and made following such termination.

Section 8. Injunctive Relief.  Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Company, the Executive acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 7 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach of Section 7 hereof, restraining the Executive from engaging in activities prohibited by Section 7 hereof or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in Section 7 hereof.

Section  9. Representations and Warranties of the Executive.  The Executive represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a)  This Agreement, upon execution and delivery by the Executive, will be duly executed and delivered by the Executive and (assuming due execution and delivery hereof by the Company) will be the valid and binding obligation of the Executive enforceable against the Executive in accordance with its terms.

(b)  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and conditions by the Executive (i) requires the approval or consent of any governmental body or of any other person or (ii) conflicts with or results in any breach or violation of, or constitutes (or with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute) a default under, any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule, permit or governmental regulation applicable to the Executive.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, other than the provisions contained herein the Executive is not a party to any non-competition, non-solicitation, no hire or similar agreement that restricts in any way the Executive’s ability to engage in any business or to solicit or hire the employees of any person.

The representations and warranties of the Executive contained in this Section 9 shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

Section 10. Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including, but not limited to, the Executive’s heirs and the personal representatives of the Executive’s estate; provided,

10

however, that neither party shall assign or delegate any of the obligations created under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the unrestricted right to assign this Agreement (subject to the Executive’s rights hereunder) and to delegate all or any part of its obligations hereunder to any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, but in such event such assignee shall expressly assume all obligations of the Company hereunder and the Company shall remain fully liable for the performance of all of such obligations in the manner prescribed in this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any person or entity not a party to this Agreement, or the legal representatives of such person or entity, any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 11. Waiver and Amendments.  Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment or modification is consented to on the Company’s behalf by the CEO or Board of Directors.  No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.

Section 12. Validity, Enforceability and Governing Law.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in Section 7 hereof are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision or provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, any court or arbitrator so holding shall substitute a valid, enforceable provision that preserves, to the maximum lawful extent, the terms and intent of such provisions of this Agreement.  If any of the provisions of, or covenants contained in, this Agreement are hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the same shall not affect the remainder of the provisions or the enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalidity or unenforceability in such other jurisdiction.  Any such holding shall affect such provision of this Agreement, solely as to that jurisdiction, without rendering that or any other provisions of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.  If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope, either geographical or temporal, is considered excessive, such covenant will be modified so that the scope of the covenant

11

is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE.
