         (the "Sale Bonus") if the Company is sold pursuant to a merger, sale

         other than due to the Company's default under the New Credit
         Agreement, by the initial maturity of the New Credit Agreement
         (hereinafter, a "Sale Event"), as follows: if the Sale Event occurs
         subsequent to the initial maturity of the New Credit Agreement, the
         executive management team of the Company shall be entitled to receive
         an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2 1/2%) of the gross
         sales price realized by the Company from the Sale Event (the
         "Management Bonus"), and the Executive shall be entitled to receive an

         Management Bonus among the remaining members of the executive
         management team named in this Section 3 (d), subject to the approval
         of the Board of Directors or the appropriate committee thereof.

         5.       PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION

                  (a)      Involuntary Termination. If (1) the Executive's
         employment is terminated by the Company during the term of this
         Agreement, other than for (i) death, (ii) disability as described in
         this Section 5 (b), (iii)"Cause" as described in this Section 5 (c),
         (iv) a voluntary termination by the Executive as described in this
         Section 5 (d), or (2) a "Change in Corporate Control" as described in
         Section 6 occurs, the Company shall be obligated to make a series of
         monthly payments to the Executive for twenty-four (24) months from the
         date of such termination or Change in Corporate Control (the
         "Severance Period"). Each monthly payment shall be equal to
         one-twelfth (1/12th) of the sum of the (i) Executive's annual base
         salary paid during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding such
         termination, and (ii) Bank Covenant Compliance Bonus and Performance
         Bonus, if any, earned under Section 3 for the fiscal year immediately
         preceding such termination. The payments made during the last twelve
         (12) months of the Severance Period shall




                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6

         be reduced by all amounts the Executive receives as compensation for
         services performed in any position with any new employer (including a
         position as an officer, employee, consultant or agent, or
         self-employment as a partner or sole proprietor). The Executive shall
         also receive such non-forfeitable benefits already earned and payable
         to her under the terms of any deferred compensation, incentive or
         other benefit plan maintained by the Company, payable in accordance
         with the terms of the applicable plan. If the Company should, during
         the term of this Agreement, require the Executive to relocate her
         business office outside of the Baltimore metropolitan area, the
         Executive shall have the right, within sixty (60) days following this
         request, to resign from employment and have such resignation be deemed
         to be an involuntary termination triggering the severance provisions
         of this Section 5 (a).

         If the Company defaults in its obligation to make any severance
         payments required to be paid under this Section 5 (a) or under Section
         2: (i) the provisions of Section 10 shall be inoperable; (ii) the
         entire unpaid balance of the severance payments shall become
         immediately due and payable; and (iii) if the Executive prevails in
         any suit commenced by the Executive to collect such severance
         payments, all costs and expenses of such suit incurred by the
         Executive, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be paid by the
         Company to the Executive.

                  (b)      Disability. The Company shall be entitled to
         terminate this Agreement, if the Board of Directors determines that
         the Executive has been unable to attend to her duties for at least
         ninety (90) days because of a medically diagnosable physical or mental
         condition, and has received a written opinion from a physician
         acceptable to the Board that such condition prevents the Executive
         from resuming full performance of her duties and is likely to continue
         for an indefinite period. Upon such termination, the Company shall pay
         to Executive a monthly disability benefit equal to one twenty-fourth
         (1/24th) of her current annual base salary at the time she became
         permanently disabled. Payment of such disability benefit shall
         commence on the last day of the month following the date of the
         termination by reason of permanent disability and cease with the
         earliest of (i) the month in which the Executive returns to active
         employment, either with the Company or otherwise, (ii) the end of the
         Initial Term of this Agreement, or the current renewal term, as the
         case may be, or (iii) the twenty-fourth month after the date of the
         termination. Any amounts payable under this Section 5 (b) shall be
         reduced by any amounts paid to the Executive under any long-term
         disability plan or other disability program or insurance policies
         maintained or provided by the Company.

                  (c)      Termination for Cause. If the Executive's employment
         is terminated by the Company for Cause, the amount the Executive shall
         be entitled to receive from the Company shall be limited to her base
         salary accrued through the date of termination, and any nonforfeitable
         benefits already earned and payable to the Executive under the terms
         of deferred compensation or incentive plans maintained by the Company.

                  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall be
limited to (i) any action by the Executive involving a willful material
disloyalty to the Company, such as embezzlement, fraud, misappropriation of
corporate assets or a breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 9 and 10
below; or (ii) the Executive being convicted of a felony; or (iii) the
Executive being convicted of any lesser crime or offense committed in
connection with the performance of his duties hereunder or involving moral
turpitude; or (iv) the intentional and willful failure by the Executive to



                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

substantially perform her duties hereunder as directed by the Chief Executive
Officer of Vision 21 (other than any such failure resulting from the
Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental disability). No termination
shall occur under subsection (iv) of this Section 5 (d) unless the Executive
shall have first received written notice from the Chief Executive Officer
advising of the acts or omissions that constitute the failure to perform her
duties, and such failure continues after she shall have had a reasonable
opportunity, not to exceed thirty (30) days, to correct the acts or omissions
complained of.

                  (d)      Voluntary Termination by the Executive. If the
         Executive resigns or otherwise voluntarily terminates her employment
         before the end of the Initial Term or any renewal term of this
         Agreement, the amount the Executive shall be entitled to receive from
         the Company shall be limited to her base salary accrued through the
         date of termination, and any nonforfeitable benefits already earned
         and payable to the Executive under the terms of any deferred
         compensation or incentive plans of the Company.

                  For purposes of this paragraph, a resignation by the
Executive shall not be deemed to be voluntary if the Executive resigns during
the period of three months after the date (1) she is assigned to a position of
lesser rank (other than for Cause, or by reason of permanent disability), (2)
she is assigned duties materially inconsistent with her position, or (3) the
Company breaches any of its material obligations hereunder.


         6.       EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CORPORATE CONTROL

                  (a)      In the event of a Change in Corporate Control, the
         provisions of Section 5 (a) of this Agreement shall apply, and any
         stock options granted to the Executive under Vision 21's Stock
         Incentive Plan shall become immediately vested in full and exercisable

                  of more than forty percent of Vision 21's outstanding Common
                  Stock by any corporation, or other person or group (within
                  the meaning of Section 14(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange
                  Act of 1934, as amended), excluding any Vision 21 Common
                  Stock issued pursuant to the current restructuring of the
                  Company.

                           (2)      Any merger or consolidation of Vision 21
                  into or with another corporation in which Vision 21 is not
                  the surviving entity, or any transfer or sale of
                  substantially all of the assets of the Company or any merger
                  or consolidation of Vision 21 into or with another
                  corporation in which Vision 21 is the surviving entity and,
                  in connection with such merger or consolidation, all or part
                  of the outstanding shares of Vision 21 Common Stock shall be

                  Constituted Board"); provided that, a Change in Corporate
                  Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if (i) there is
                  a change in the majority of the Newly Constituted Board as a
                  result of nominations made by the Newly Constituted Board or
                  nominations made by persons who were themselves nominated by

                  Newly Constituted Board resulting from any termination as a
                  member of the Newly Constituted Board by an executive of the
                  Company either for cause or due to such individual's desire
                  to terminate his position on the Newly Constituted Board.

                  successfully completes a tender offer for at least fifty-one

                  acquisition of stock by any person in a public offering or
                  private placement of Vision 21's common stock approved by the
                  Board of Directors of Vision 21 in office immediately
                  preceding the time of such transaction shall be considered a
                  Change in Corporate Control.

                  (c)      Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the
         amount of severance compensation payable to the Executive as a result
         of a Change in Corporate Control under this Section 6, or otherwise,
         shall be limited to the maximum amount the Company would be entitled
         to deduct pursuant to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of
         1986, as amended.

         7.       DEATH

                  If the Executive dies during the term of this Agreement, the
Company shall pay to the Executive's estate a lump sum payment equal to the sum
of (i) the Executive's base salary accrued through the date of death, (ii) the
total unpaid amount of any bonuses earned with respect to the fiscal year of
the Company most recently ended, and (iii) an amount equal to twelve (12)
months of the Executive's base salary at the rate in effect on the date of

death under any retirement, deferred compensation or other employee benefit

the beneficiary designated by the Executive in accordance with the terms of the
applicable plan or plans. If the Company seeks to obtain insurance coverage to
fund the Company's obligation to the Executive under subsection (iii) of this
Section 7, the Executive shall cooperate with the Company in its efforts to
obtain such coverage.

         8.       WITHHOLDING

                  The Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the
right to withhold and deduct from any payment hereunder any federal, state or
local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any such
payment.

         9.       PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

                  The Executive agrees that she will keep all confidential and
proprietary information of the Company or relating to its business (including,
but not limited to, information regarding the




                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9

Company's customers, pricing policies, methods of operation, proprietary
computer programs and trade secrets) confidential, and that she will not
(except with the Company's prior written consent, subject to Board approval),
while in the employ of the Company or thereafter, disclose any such
confidential information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other
entity, other than in furtherance of her duties hereunder, and then only to
those with a "need to know." The Executive shall not make use of any such
confidential information for her own purposes or for the benefit of any person,
firm, corporation, association or other entity (except the Company) under any
circumstances during or after the term of her employment. The foregoing shall
not apply to any information which is already in the public domain, or is
generally disclosed by the Company or is otherwise in the public domain at the
time of disclosure. The provisions of this Section 9 shall not apply to the
Executive's know how to the extent utilized by her in any subsequent employment
that is not in violation of this Section 9.

                  The Executive recognizes that because her work for the
Company will bring her into contact with confidential and proprietary
information of the Company, the restrictions of this Section 9 are required for
the reasonable protection of the Company and its investments and for the
Company's reliance on and confidence in the Executive.


         10.      COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE

                  The Executive hereby agrees that she will not, either during
the term of this Agreement or during the period of twenty-four (24) months from
the time the Executive's employment under this Agreement is terminated, engage
in any business activities on behalf of any enterprise which competes with the
Company in any business in which the Company is now engaged or any other
business in which the Company is actively engaged at the time of the
termination. The Executive will be deemed to be engaged in such competitive
business activities if she participates in such a business enterprise as an
employee, officer, director, consultant, agent, partner, proprietor, or other
participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive will not be
considered to violate this covenant not to compete by reason of (i) any
activities for or on behalf of Barenburg Optometric Service, Inc., (ii)
employment with a full-service health maintenance organization, provided that
the primary function of the Executive for such HMO is not related to a
competitive business activity, or (iii) the ownership of no more than five
percent (5%) of the stock of a publicly traded corporation engaged in a
competitive business.

                  The Executive agrees that she shall not, at any time during
the period of twenty-four months from the time her employment under this
Agreement ceases (for whatever reason):

         (i)      solicit any employee or full-time consultant of the Company,
                  or any individual who was an employee or full-time consultant
                  of the Company during the six (6) month period preceding the
                  Executive's termination of employment, for the purposes of
                  hiring or retaining such employee or consultant; or

         (ii)     solicit any present or prospective client of the Company for
                  the purpose of offering such client services or products that
                  are similar to those the Company is actively engaged in
                  providing at the time of the Executive's termination.



                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10

                  The Executive shall be automatically discharged from any
obligations under this Section 10 if the Company breaches its obligations to
the Executive under Sections 2 or 5 (a) of this Agreement.


         11.      INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

                  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that it would be
difficult to fully compensate the Company for damages resulting from the breach
or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 9 and 10 of this
Agreement and accordingly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to
temporary and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders,
preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, to enforce such provisions
in any action or proceeding instituted in any United States District Court or
in any State court having subject matter jurisdiction. This provision with
respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the Company's right
to claim and recover damages.

                  It is expressly understood and agreed that although the
parties consider the restrictions contained in this Agreement to be reasonable,
if a court determines that the time or territory or any other restriction
contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction on the activities
of the Executive, no such provision of this Agreement shall be rendered void
but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and
to such extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
reasonable.

         12.      SEPARABILITY

                  If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared to be
invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof which shall
remain in full force and effect.

         13.      BINDING EFFECT; COMPANY LIABILITY JOINT AND SEVERAL.

                  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the heirs and representatives of the Executive, but neither this Agreement
nor any rights hereunder shall be assignable or otherwise subject to
hypothecation by the Executive. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of Vision 21, MEC and
Block Vision and each of Vision 21, MEC and Block Vision shall be jointly and
severally liable to the Executive for all obligations imposed on the Company
and owing to the Executive under this Agreement.

laws provisions of such laws.
