will be subject to annual review and may be increased from time to time by the
Board considering factors such as the Executive's responsibilities, compensation
of executives in other companies, performance of the Executive and other
pertinent factors. Such Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with the
Company's customary practices applicable to similarly situated executives of the
Company.

as may be in effect from time to time. Further, in lieu of other salary
payments, in the event of the Executive's Disability, the Executive shall be
entitled to the payments specified in Section 11(c)(5) hereof during the

that the Executive's participation in any such plan or program is barred, the
Company shall arrange to provide the Executive, on an after-tax basis, with
benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive was otherwise
entitled to receive under such plans and programs for such one-year period; and

following the Disability Date, eighty percent (80%) of the Base Salary for the
second twelve (12) months following the Disability Date, and sixty percent (60%)
of the Base Salary for the third twelve (12) months following the Disability

jointly with others, that are in the Executive's possession, custody, or control
at termination and that are related in any manner to the past, present, or
anticipated business of the Company, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates. In this
regard, the Executive hereby grants and conveys to the Company all right, title
and interest in and to, including without limitation, the right to possess,
print, copy, and sell or otherwise dispose of, any reports, records, papers,
summaries, photographs, drawings or other documents, and writings, and copies,

                (e)     INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The Executive shall hold in trust
for the benefit of the Company, and shall disclose promptly and fully to the
Company in writing, and hereby assigns, and binds the Executive's heirs,
executors, and administrators to assign, to the Company any and all inventions,
discoveries, ideas, concepts, improvements, copyrightable works, and other
developments (the "Developments") conceived, made, discovered or developed by
the Executive, solely or jointly with others, during the term of the Executive's
employment by the Company, whether during or outside of usual working hours and
whether on the Company's premises or not, that relate in any manner to the past,
present or anticipated business of the Company, its subsidiaries and/or
affiliates. All works of authorship created by the Executive, solely or jointly
with others, shall be considered works made for hire under the Copyright Act of

Developments in any and all countries. Within one (1) year following the end of
the term of this Agreement and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
any Development of the Executive relating to any subject matter on which the
Executive worked or was informed during the Executive's employment by the
Company shall be conclusively presumed to have been conceived and made prior to
the termination of the Executive's employment (unless the Executive clearly
proves that such Development was conceived and made following the



                                       86

termination of the Executive's employment), and shall accordingly belong and be
assigned to the Company and shall be subject to this Agreement.

                (f)     REMEDIES. The Executive agrees that any breach of the
terms of this Section 12 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the

Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat
of breach, the Company shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and
restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or
continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all persons and/or entities
acting for and/or with the Executive, without having to prove damages, and to
all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, in
addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled under this
Agreement, at law or in equity. The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent
the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or
threatened breach hereof, including but not limited to the recovery of damages
from the Executive. The Executive and the Company further agree that the
provisions of the covenants not to compete and solicit are reasonable and that
the Company would not have entered into this Agreement but for the inclusion of
such covenants herein. Should a court determine, however, that any provision of
the covenants is unreasonable, either in period of time, geographical area, or
otherwise, the parties hereto agree that the covenant should be interpreted and
enforced to the maximum extent which such court or arbitrator deems reasonable.

                The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive any termination
of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by the
Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or
otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of
the covenants and agreements of this Section 12; provided, however, that this
paragraph shall not, in and of itself, preclude the Executive from defending
against the enforceability of the covenants and agreements of this Section 12.

        13.     LIMITATION OF PAYMENTS.

                (a)     GROSS-UP PAYMENT. In the event it shall be determined
that any payment or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the
Executive, by the Company, any of its affiliates, any person who acquires
ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial
portion of the Company's assets within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations
thereunder or any affiliate of such person, whether paid or payable or
distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise (the "Total Payments"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such
excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are
collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be
entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount
such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or
penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed
upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up
Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments (not including
any Gross-Up Payment).

                (b)     All determinations as to whether any of the Total
Payments are "parachute payments" (within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Code), whether a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up
Payment and any amounts relevant to the last sentence of Subsection 13(a), shall
be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Company from among the
largest five accounting firms in the United States (the "Accounting Firm"). The
Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the "Determination"), together
with detailed supporting calculations regarding the amount of any Gross-Up

                                       87
<PAGE>

Payment and any other relevant matter, both to the Company and the Executive
within thirty (30) days of the Termination Date, if applicable, or such earlier
time as is requested by the Company or the Executive (if the Executive
reasonably believes that any of the Total Payments may be subject to the Excise
Tax). Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company
and the Executive. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999
of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
hereunder, it is possible that the Company should have made Gross-Up Payments
("Underpayment"), or that Gross-Up Payments will have been made by the Company
which should not have been made ("Overpayments"). In either such event, the
Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment or Overpayment
that has occurred. In the case of an Underpayment, the amount of such
Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the
Executive. In the case of an Overpayment, the Executive shall, at the direction
and expense of the Company, take such steps as are reasonably necessary
(including the filing of returns and claims for refund), follow reasonable
instructions from, and procedures established by, the Company, and otherwise
reasonably cooperate with the Company to correct such Overpayment.

        14.     EXECUTIVE REPRESENTATION. The Executive expressly represents and
warrants to the Company that the Executive is not a party to any contract or
agreement and is not otherwise obligated in any way, and is not subject to any
rules or regulations, whether governmentally imposed or otherwise, which will or
may restrict in any way the Executive's ability to fully perform the Executive's
duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

        15.     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

                (a)     This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and the Company shall
require any successor or assign to expressly assume 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 assignment had taken place. The
term "the Company" as used herein shall include any such successors and assigns
to the Company's business and/or assets. The term "successors and assigns" as
used herein shall mean a corporation or other entity acquiring or otherwise
succeeding to, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all the assets and
business of the Company (including this Agreement) whether by operation of law
or otherwise.

                (b)     Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest
hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by the Executive, the Executive's
beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Executive's legal personal representative.

        16.     ARBITRATION. Except with respect to the remedies set forth in
Section 12(f), as the method for resolving any dispute arising out of this
Agreement, the Executive, in the Executive's sole discretion, may select binding
arbitration in accordance with this Section. Except as provided otherwise in
this Section, arbitration pursuant to this Section shall be governed by the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. If the
Executive wishes to arbitrate an issue under this Section 16, the Executive
shall deliver written notice to the Company, including a description of the
issue to be arbitrated. Within fifteen (15) days after the Executive demands
arbitration, the Company and the Executive shall each appoint an arbitrator.
Within fifteen (15) additional days, these two arbitrators shall appoint the
third arbitrator by mutual agreement; if they fail to agree within this fifteen
(15) day period, then the third arbitrator shall be selected promptly pursuant
to the rules of the American Arbitration Association for Commercial Arbitration.
The arbitration panel



                                       88
<PAGE>

shall hold a hearing in Columbus, Ohio, within ninety (90) days after the
appointment of the third arbitrator. The fees and expenses of the arbitrators,
and any American Arbitration Association fees, shall be paid by the Company.
Both the Company and the Executive may be represented by counsel and may present
testimony and other evidence at the hearing. Within ninety (90) days after
commencement of the hearing, the arbitration panel will issue a written
decision; the majority vote of two of the three arbitrators shall control. The
majority decision of the arbitrators shall be binding on the parties, and the
parties may not pursue other available legal remedies if the parties are not
satisfied with the majority decision of the arbitrator. The Executive shall be
entitled to seek specific performance of the Executive's rights under this
Agreement during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this Agreement.

        17.     NOTICE. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all
other communications provided for in the Agreement (including the Notice of
Termination) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duty given
when personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, or upon receipt if overnight delivery
service or facsimile is used, addressed as follows:

        18.     SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS. Except as otherwise provided, 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
circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against the
Executive or others.

        19.     MISCELLANEOUS. No provision of this Agreement may be modified,
waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to
in writing and signed by the Executive and the Company. No waiver by either
party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or
compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by
such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or
conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreement or
representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the
subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set
forth in this Agreement.

        20.     GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without giving
effect to conflict of law principles thereof. The parties hereby consent to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of Ohio and venue in

severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not

agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior agreements, if any, understandings and arrangements,
oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof.
