entered into as of the 24th day of October, 1997, by and between Casey's General
Stores, Inc., an Iowa corporation (the "Company"), and Donald F. Lamberti
("Lamberti").

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors")
recognizes that the dedication of Lamberti as an officer and director to the
affairs and welfare of the Company since its organization has resulted in a long
and successful association; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors further recognizes that the Company has grown
and prospered as a result of its association with Lamberti, and has determined
that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to preserve
this association so as to enable the Company to further benefit from Lamberti's
superior knowledge and expertise in all of its present and future business
endeavors; and

WHEREAS, the Company and Lamberti are parties to an Employment Agreement dated
as of March 2, 1992, as amended by a First Amendment to Employment Agreement
dated as of January 16, 1997 (together, the "Original Agreement"), providing for
the employment of Lamberti to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company under the terms and conditions set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has further determined that it is appropriate
and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to modify the
existing contractual arrangements with respect to Lamberti's employment by the
Company, with the concurrence of Lamberti, and to amend and restate the Original
Agreement to reflect the same; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has further determined that it is in the best
interest of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will
have the continued dedication of Lamberti, notwithstanding the possibility,
threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company,
and to further encourage Lamberti's full attention and dedication to the Company
currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and
to provide Lamberti with compensation arrangements upon a Change of Control
which provide him with compensation for expected losses that he would suffer in
the event of a Change of Control and which are

1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

competitive with those of other corporations, and, in order to accomplish these
objectives, has determined to cause the Company to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.    Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, and in addition to
the other definitions set forth herein, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

a)    "Change of Control" shall mean:

(i)
the acquisition (other than from the Company) by any Person (as hereinafter
defined), entity or "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), (excluding for this
purpose, the Company or any employee benefit plan of the Company, which acquires
beneficial ownership of voting securities of the Company) of beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act)
of twenty percent (20%) or more of either the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock, no par value, of the Company or the combined voting power of the
Company's then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (hereinafter referred to as the "Common Stock"), unless
such beneficial ownership was acquired as a result of an acquisition of shares
of Common Stock by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares
outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by
such Person, entity or "group" to twenty percent (20%) or more of the Common
Stock of the Company then outstanding; provided, however, that if a Person,
entity or "group" shall become the beneficial owner of twenty percent (20%) or
more of the Common Stock of the Company then outstanding by reason of share
purchases by the Company and shall, after such share purchases by the Company,
become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Common Stock of the
Company, then such Person, entity or "group" shall be deemed to have met the
conditions hereof; or

(ii)
individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors (as of
the date hereof, the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at
least a majority of the Board of Directors, provided that any person becoming a
director subsequent to the date

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders,
was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising
the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose
initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened
election contest relating to the election of the directors of the Company, as
such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
Exchange Act) shall be, for purposes of this Agreement considered as though such
person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or

(iii)
approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger,
consolidation (in each case, with respect to which persons who were the
shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or
consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than fifty percent (50%)
of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company's then outstanding
voting securities) or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or of the sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

(b)    "Annual Increase" shall take effect on each January 1 for which the
benefit at issue is payable and shall mean fifty percent (50%) of the annual
increase in the National Consumer Price Index for the City of Des Moines, Iowa,
as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Board of Directors of the Company, on such terms and in such amounts as it shall
determine.

(d)    "Employment Period" shall mean the term of Lamberti's employment under
this Agreement, as set forth in Section 2 hereof.

(e)    "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(f)    "Accrued Obligations" shall mean (i) Lamberti's Salary through the Date
of Termination at the rate in effect on the Date of Termination, (ii) the
product of the Annual Bonus paid to Lamberti for the last full fiscal year and a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal
year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 and
(iii) any compensation previously deferred (together

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with any accrued interest thereon) and not yet paid by the Company and any
accrued vacation pay not yet paid by the Company.

(g)    "Person" shall mean any individual, firm, corporation or other entity,
and shall include any successor (by merger or otherwise) and all "affiliates"
and "associates" of such entity (as those terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 of the
General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act).

2.    Employment and Term. The Company agrees to employ Lamberti, and Lamberti
agrees to serve the Company, as Chief Executive Officer of the Company on the
terms and under the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The initial term of
employment under this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall
terminate on April 30, 1998 (the "Initial Term"), after which this Agreement and
the Employment Period hereunder shall be automatically renewed and extended for
successive periods of three years (each of which shall be a "Renewal Term"),
subject to the right of the Company and Lamberti to terminate this Agreement
during the Initial Term or any such Renewal Term in accordance with the terms
and conditions set forth in subsequent sections of this Agreement, and further
subject to the right of the Company and Lamberti to cause this Agreement and the
Employment Period hereunder to expire at the end of the Initial Term or any
Renewal Term by giving written notice thereof at least one year prior to the end
of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term, as applicable; provided,
however, that in the event of a Change of Control during the Initial Term or any
Renewal Term, this Agreement and the Employment Period hereunder automatically
shall continue in full force and effect for the greater of (i) the remaining
term of employment then in progress or (ii) three years from the effective date
of the Change of Control. References herein to the Employment Period shall refer
to both the Initial Term and any successive Renewal Term.

3.    Duties of Lamberti. During the period of his employment in the capacity of
Chief Executive Officer, Lamberti will perform his duties to the best of his
ability, subject to the control of the Board of Directors. It is agreed and
understood that the position (including status, office, title and reporting
requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities of Lamberti shall be
substantially the same as those performed by Lamberti as Chief Executive Officer
of the Company prior to the date of this Agreement, and that Lamberti shall at
all times serve the best interests of the Company. The Company agrees that
Lamberti shall at all times have such authority and discretion as is required in
the carrying out of Lamberti's duties in a proper and efficient manner, subject
to review by the Board of Directors.

During the period of his employment, it shall not be a violation of this
Agreement for Lamberti to (i) serve on corporate, civil or charitable boards or
committees, (ii)

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

deliver lectures or fulfill speaking engagements and (iii) manage personal
investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the
performance of Lamberti's responsibilities as an employee of the Company in
accordance with this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that to
the extent that any such activities have been conducted by Lamberti prior to the
date hereof, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of
activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the date hereof
shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the performance of Lamberti's
responsibilities to the Company.

4.    Compensation. The Company shall pay to Lamberti an annual salary of Three
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000), payable in equal monthly
installments, or such other amount as shall be mutually agreed upon by the
Company and Lamberti (the "Salary"). In addition, Lamberti and/or Lamberti's
family shall be entitled to receive all benefits presently provided or those
which may hereafter be generally provided by the Company to its employees,
officers or directors, including health insurance and life insurance. With
respect to such health insurance benefits, the Company agrees that at all times
the health insurance coverages available to Lamberti and his spouse under such
plans shall include provisions providing for lifetime benefits payable on behalf
of Lamberti and his spouse of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
each, or such other amount as the Company and Lamberti may specifically agree
upon in writing, subject, however, to any limitations, restrictions or
conditions that shall from time to time be necessary to satisfy the requirements
of applicable federal or state laws and regulations.

5.    Termination of Employment. (a) Death or Disability. Lamberti's employment
under this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon Lamberti's death. If the
Company determines in good faith that the Disability of Lamberti has occurred
(pursuant to the definition of "Disability" set forth below), it may give to
Lamberti written notice of its intention to terminate Lamberti's employment as
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In such event, Lamberti's employment
with the Company shall terminate effective on the thirtieth (30th) day after
receipt of such notice by Lamberti (the "Disability Effective Date"), provided
that, within the thirty (30) days after such receipt, Lamberti shall not have
returned to full-time performance of his duties. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Disability" means disability or incapacity of Lamberti which, at least
twenty-six (26) weeks after its commencement, is determined by the Board of
Directors upon competent medical advice to be such as to prevent Lamberti from
performing substantially all of the duties of Chief Executive Officer of the
Company.

(b)    Cause. The Company may terminate Lamberti's employment for "Cause." For
purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means (i) an act or acts of personal
dishonesty taken by Lamberti and intended to result in substantial personal
enrichment of Lamberti

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at the expense of the Company, (ii) repeated violations by Lamberti of
Lamberti's obligations under Section 3 of this Agreement which are demonstrably
willful and deliberate on Lamberti's part and which are not remedied in a
reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from the Company or
(iii) the conviction of Lamberti of a felony when such conviction is no longer
subject to direct appeal.

(c)    Good Reason. Lamberti's employment may be terminated by Lamberti for Good
Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means:

(i)    the assignment to Lamberti of any duties inconsistent in any respect with
Lamberti's position (including status, office, titles and reporting
requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section
3 of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company which results in a
diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding
for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in
bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice
thereof given by Lamberti;

(ii)    Any failure by the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 4 of
this Agreement, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure
not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after
receipt of notice thereof given by Lamberti;

(iii)    the Company's requiring Lamberti to be based at any office or location
other than the Company's Corporate Headquarters facility in Ankeny, Iowa, except
for travel reasonably required in the performance of Lamberti's
responsibilities;

(iv)    any purported termination by the Company of Lamberti's employment
otherwise than for death, Disability or Cause as expressly permitted by this
Agreement; or

(v)    any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 13(c) of
this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 5(c), any good faith determination of "Good Reason"
made by Lamberti shall be conclusive.

(d)    Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or by
Lamberti for Good Reason shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the
other party hereto given in accordance with Section 14(b) of this Agreement. For
purposes of

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i)
indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii)
sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a
basis for termination of Lamberti's employment under the provision so indicated
and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date
of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be
not more than fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice). The failure of
Lamberti to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance
which contributes to a showing of Good Reason shall not waive any right of
Lamberti hereunder or preclude Lamberti from asserting such fact or circumstance
in enforcing his rights hereunder.

(e)    Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" means the date of receipt of
the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may
be; provided, however, that (i) if Lamberti's employment is terminated by the
Company other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the
date on which the Company notifies Lamberti of such termination and (ii) if
Lamberti's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date
of Termination shall be the date of death of Lamberti or the Disability
Effective Date, as the case may be.

6.    Obligations of the Company upon Termination of Employment.

(a) Death of Lamberti. In the event of the death of Lamberti during the term
hereof, the Company shall pay to Lamberti's spouse, commencing on the first day
of the month following his death and continuing for a period of twenty-four (24)
months thereafter, benefits equal to the monthly installments of Salary which
was then being paid to Lamberti pursuant to Section 4 herein. Immediately
following such two-year period, the Company shall commence the payment of
monthly benefits to Lamberti's spouse equal in amount to one-fourth (1/4) of the
monthly installments of Salary which was being paid to Lamberti at the time of
his death under Section 4 herein, which monthly benefits shall be paid for a
period of twenty (20) years or until the death of Lamberti's spouse, whichever
occurs first. In addition, the Company shall continue at all times to offer and
provide health insurance coverage to Lamberti's spouse, in accordance with the
plans, programs, practices and policies provided by the Company under the terms
of this Agreement at the time of Lamberti's death, until the death of Lamberti's
spouse, except to the extent such coverage is or otherwise becomes available to
Lamberti's spouse under the Medicare program of benefits.

(b)    Disability of Lamberti. If Lamberti's employment is terminated by reason
of the Disability of Lamberti, Lamberti's employment under this Agreement shall
terminate without further obligations to Lamberti, other than those obligations
accrued or earned and vested (if applicable) by Lamberti as of the Date of
Termination, including for

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this purpose, all Accrued Obligations and those set forth herein. All such
Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Lamberti in a lump sum in cash within
thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination. Anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, Lamberti shall be entitled after the Disability
Effective Date to receive disability and other benefits in an amount equal to
one-half (1/2) of his Salary (adjusted on an annual basis by the amount of the
Annual Increase), which shall be payable in equal monthly installments until the
close of the calendar year during which Lamberti attains sixty-five (65) years
of age or until the last day of the month in which Lamberti is no longer deemed
disabled pursuant to this Agreement, or until Lamberti's death, whichever shall
first occur.

If Lamberti shall receive any disability payments from any insurance policies
paid for by the Company, the payments to Lamberti pursuant to this provision
shall be reduced by the amount of disability payments received by Lamberti under
any such insurance policy or policies.

If, following the termination of Lamberti's employment by reason of Disability,
the Board of Directors determines, upon competent medical advice, that Lamberti
has recovered from said Disability to the point where he is no longer prevented
by said Disability from performing substantially all of the duties as Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, the Company shall give Lamberti not less than
thirty (30) days written notice of its election to cease the payment of
Disability benefits to him pursuant to this Section 6(b), following which (i)
the Company shall have no further obligations to Lamberti to make said
Disability payments as provided herein and (ii) Lamberti thereafter shall be
entitled to retire and terminate his employment with the Company, without
further action or notice on his part, and to receive the benefits payable under
the Non-Qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan of the Company (the
"SERP") (or any successor plan), as and to the extent set forth therein, and
shall hold himself available to the Board of Directors for consultation as
provided in Section 10 hereof.

Notwithstanding any Disability on the part of Lamberti, the Company shall
continue at all times to offer and provide health insurance coverages to
Lamberti and his spouse, in accordance with the most favorable plans, programs,
practices and policies provided by the Company during the 90-day period
immediately preceding the Disability Effective Date or, if more favorable to
Lamberti, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key
employees and their families, until the death of Lamberti and his spouse, except
to the extent such coverage is or otherwise becomes available to Lamberti and
his spouse under the Medicare program of benefits.

(c)    Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If Lamberti's employment shall be
terminated for Cause, Lamberti's employment under this Agreement shall terminate

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

without further obligations to Lamberti (other than the obligation to pay to
Lamberti his Salary through the Date of Termination plus the amount of any
compensation previously deferred by Lamberti, together with accrued interest
thereon). If Lamberti terminates employment other than for Good Reason, this
Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Lamberti, other than
those obligations accrued or earned and vested (if applicable) by Lamberti
through the Date of Termination, including for this purpose, all Accrued
Obligations. All such Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Lamberti in a lump
sum in cash within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination.

(d)    Good Reason; Other than for Cause or Disability. If the Company shall
terminate Lamberti's employment other than for Cause, Disability, or death or if
Lamberti shall terminate his employment for Good Reason at any time during the
Employment Period, except during a three-year period following any Change of
Control (in which case the provisions of Section 6(e) shall apply), then in such
event:

(i)    the Company shall pay to Lamberti in a lump sum in cash within thirty
(30) days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following amounts:

A.    to the extent not theretofore paid, Lamberti's Salary through the Date of
Termination; and

B.    the product of (x) the highest Annual Bonus paid to Lamberti during the
three (3) fiscal years preceding the fiscal year in which the Date of
Termination occurs (the "Recent Bonus") and (y) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the date of
Termination and the denominator of which is 365; and

C.    the product of (x) two (2.0) and (y) the sum of (i) the Salary and (ii)
the Recent Bonus; and

D.    in the case of compensation previously deferred by Lamberti, all amounts
previously deferred (together with any accrued interest thereon) and not yet
paid by the Company, and any accrued vacation pay not yet paid by the Company;
and

(ii)    for a two-year period following the Date of Termination, the Company
shall continue benefits to Lamberti and/or Lamberti's family at least equal to
those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans,
programs, practices and policies provided under this Agreement if Lamberti's
employment had not been terminated, including health insurance and

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

life insurance, in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs
or policies provided by the Company and its subsidiaries during the 90-day
period immediately preceding the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to
Lamberti, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key
employees and their families. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the
Company shall continue at all times to offer and provide the above-described
health insurance coverages to Lamberti and his spouse until their respective
dates of death, except to the extent such coverage is or otherwise becomes
available to Lamberti and his spouse under the Medicare program of benefits.

(e)    Good Reason; Other than for Cause or Disability, following a Change of
Control. If, during a three year period following any Change of Control, the
Company shall terminate Lamberti's employment other than for Cause, Disability,
or death or if Lamberti shall terminate his employment for Good Reason:

(i)    the Company shall pay to Lamberti in a lump sum in cash on the thirtieth
(30th) day following the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following
amounts:

A.    to the extent not theretofore paid, Lamberti's Salary through the Date of
Termination; and

B.    the product of (x) the Recent Bonus and (y) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the date of
Termination and the denominator of which is 365; and

C.    the product of (x) three (3.0) and (y) the sum of (i) the Salary and (ii)
the Recent Bonus; and

D.    in the case of compensation previously deferred by Lamberti, all amounts
previously deferred (together with any accrued interest thereon) and not yet
paid by the Company, and any accrued vacation pay not yet paid by the Company;
and

(ii)    for a three-year period following the Date of Termination, the Company
shall continue benefits to Lamberti and/or Lamberti's family at least equal to
those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans,
programs, practices and policies provided under this Agreement if Lamberti's
employment had not been terminated, including health insurance and life
insurance, in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

policies provided by the Company and its subsidiaries during the 90-day period
immediately preceding the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to Lamberti,
as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees and
their families. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Company shall
continue at all times to offer and provide the above-described health insurance
coverages to Lamberti and his spouse until their respective dates of death,
except to the extent such coverage is or otherwise becomes available to Lamberti
and his spouse under the Medicare program of benefits.

(f)    Alternative Excise Tax Cap. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
6(e) hereof, if any payments or benefits received or to be received by Lamberti
(whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement
or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a Change of
Control or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) constitute
"parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code and
the value thereof exceeds 2.99 times Lamberti's "base amount," as defined in
Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, then, in lieu thereof, the Company shall pay to
Lamberti, as soon as practicable following the Date of Termination but in no
event later than thirty (30) days thereafter, a lump sum cash payment equal to
2.99 times his "base amount" (the "Alternative Severance Payment"), reduced as
provided below. The value of the payments to be made under Section 6(e) and
Lamberti's base amount shall be determined in accordance with temporary or final
regulations, if any, promulgated under Section 280G of the Code and based upon
the advice of the tax counsel referred to below.

The Alternative Severance Payment shall be reduced by the amount of any other
payment or the value of any benefit received or to be received by Lamberti in
connection with a Change of Control of the Company or his termination of
employment unless (i) Lamberti shall have effectively waived his receipt or
enjoyment of such payment or benefit prior to the date of payment of the
Alternative Severance Payment, (ii) in the opinion of tax counsel selected by
the Company's independent auditors, such other payment or benefit does not
constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the
Code, or (iii) in the opinion of such tax counsel, the Alternative Severance
Payment plus all other payments or benefits which constitute "parachute
payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code are reasonable
compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(4) of the Code or are otherwise not subject to disallowance as a
deduction by reason of Section 280G of the Code. The value of any non-cash
benefit or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined in accordance
with the principles of Section 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g)    Section 162(m) Limitation. In the event that the payments due to Lamberti
under this Section 6 exceed the "reasonable compensation" limitations of Section
162(m) of the Code, that portion thereof that would not be deductible by the
Company in the taxable year in which the payment is due shall be deferred by the
Company and paid to Lamberti on the date that is sixteen (16) months following
the Date of Termination, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in
Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

7.    Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or
limit Lamberti's continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus,
incentive or other plans, programs, policies or practices, provided by the
Company and for which Lamberti may qualify, including but not limited to the
SERP, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as
Lamberti may have under the SERP or any stock option or other agreements with
the Company. Amounts which are vested benefits or which Lamberti is otherwise
entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of the Company
at or subsequent to the Date of Termination, including but not limited to the
SERP, shall be payable in accordance with the SERP or such plan, policy,
practice or program.

8.    Full Settlement. The Company's obligation to make the payments provided
for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall
not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
claim, right or action which the Company may have against Lamberti or others. In
no event shall Lamberti be obligated to seek other employment or take any other
action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Lamberti under any of the
provisions of this Agreement, but such payments shall be reduced to the extent
of Lamberti's other earned income (if any) during any remaining portion of the
Employment Period. Following any Change of Control, the Company agrees to pay,
to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which Lamberti
may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome
thereof) by the Company or others (including Lamberti) of the validity or
enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any
guarantee of performance thereof, plus in each case interest at the applicable
Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

9.    Retirement of Lamberti. It is understood that Lamberti shall retire on the
last day of the calendar year during which he reaches sixty-five (65) years of
age. The Board of Directors of the Company, at its sole option, may offer to
extend Lamberti's employment on a year-to-year basis after the calendar year in
which Lamberti reaches age sixty-five (65). At the conclusion of each year it
will be presumed that Lamberti will retire unless the Board of Directors
determines to offer to extend Lamberti's employment for an additional year.

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following the retirement of Lamberti, the Company shall continue at all times to
offer and provide health insurance coverages to Lamberti and his spouse, in
accordance with the most favorable plans, programs, practices and policies
provided by the Company during the 90-day period immediately preceding the
effective date of Lamberti's retirement or, if more favorable to Lamberti, as in
effect at any time thereafter with respect to other key employees and their
families, until the death of Lamberti and his spouse, except to the extent such
coverage is or otherwise becomes available to Lamberti and his spouse under the
Medicare program of benefits.

10.    Availability of Lamberti After Retirement. Following his retirement,
Lamberti shall at reasonable times and insofar as his physical condition may
permit, hold himself available at the written request of the Board of Directors
of the Company to consult with and advise the officers, directors, and other
representatives of the Company. Such requests for Lamberti's service shall,
however, be structured so that reasonable allowances are made for Lamberti's
needs for vacation time and for other considerations of his physical well-being.
All such services shall be provided by Lamberti at his place of residence unless
otherwise agreed to by Lamberti. Lamberti shall not be required to devote any
prescribed hours to consulting with and giving advice to the officers,
directors, and other representatives of the Company in order to be entitled to
the retirement benefits as set out in the SERP, but all such benefits shall be
considered as earned in return for the consulting service and advice that
Lamberti may give from time to time to the Company, its officers, directors, and
other representatives.

If Lamberti's physical condition shall prevent him from consulting and advising
with the officers, directors or other representatives of the Company, the
retirement benefits provided under the SERP shall nonetheless be paid as therein
provided.

Lamberti shall be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable expenses incurred
as a consultant and advisor, including expenses for travel, communication,
entertainment and similar items, upon presentation of itemized accounts of such
expenditures.

11.    Discretion of Board of Directors. Notwithstanding any other term or
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing stated herein is intended
to, nor shall it be construed, to abrogate, limit, alter or affect the
authority, rights and privileges of the Board of Directors of the Company to

otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement

Company and its successors and assigns.

Change of

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Control or otherwise, and, (ii) within its lawful power to do so, any party
effecting or taking steps to accomplish a Change of Control, to assume expressly
and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or Change
of Control had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the
Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets
as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
