Directors. The Base Salary shall be adjusted annually during the term of this
Agreement by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban

learns of the occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute

reduction is not the result of across-the-board Company action reducing current
Base Salary;

                                       2
<PAGE>

               (B) the removal of Executive as Chief Information Officer
of the Company; and

               (C) a material diminution in Executive's duties or the
assignment to Executive of duties that materially impair his ability to perform
the duties normally assigned to a person of his title and position at a
corporation of the size and nature of the Company.

          (ii) If Executive's employment is terminated without Cause (for any
reason other than termination following Change of Control as defined in Section
6(d) hereof),

               (A) the Company shall pay to Executive as liquidated damages an
amount equal to one (1) year of Executive's Base Salary and a pro-rata portion
of any bonus earned by Executive (and not yet paid) provided that any targets or
other requirements set by the Board of Directors in connection with the grant of
such bonus have been met on a pro-rata basis;

               (B) the Company shall pay to Executive any other amount
(including any portion of Base Salary) earned, accrued or owing to Executive
through the date of termination but not yet paid;

               (C) vested stock options shall remain exercisable for the
remainder of their terms and granted but unvested options which would vest by
their terms within 12 months of any such termination without Cause shall

terms; and

               (D) to the extent permitted by law, the Company shall deem
Executive to be an executive of the Company for six (6) months after any such
termination for purposes solely of any health plans.

          Amounts payable hereunder shall be paid in a maximum of twelve
(12) equal monthly installments or, at the option of the Company, in a lump sum.
Such payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of any such termination

pay to Executive's estate, on a monthly basis, his Base Salary for a period of
six (6) months from the date of death and (ii) any other amounts earned, accrued
or owing to Executive under this Agreement through the date of death but not yet

          This Agreement shall terminate at the option of the Company if
Executive shall suffer "disability." For purpose hereof, "disability" shall be
defined to mean Executive's inability, due to physical or mental incapacity, to
substantially perform his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement for a
period of sixty (60) days from the date of such disability as determined by an
approved medical doctor selected by the mutual agreement of the parties hereto.
In the event that the parties hereto cannot agree on an approved medical doctor,
each party shall select a medical doctor and the two doctors shall select a
third medical doctor who shall serve as the approved medical doctor hereunder.
The Company shall notify Executive in writing of its decision to terminate this
Agreement due to Executive's disability. In the event of termination of
Executive's employment as a result of "disability," the Company shall (i) pay to
Executive, on a monthly basis, for a period of six (6) months from the date of
disability, an amount equal to his monthly Base Salary minus any monthly payment
received by Executive from any Company purchased disability policy and (ii)
continue Executive's participation in Company benefit plans in which he
participated immediately prior to such termination for a period equal to the
lessor of (A) twelve (12) months or (B) the remainder of the term of this
Agreement. Furthermore, upon any such termination by reason of "disability," all
vested stock options shall remain exercisable for the remainder of their
respective terms.

          (d) Change of Control. If, within twelve (12) months after a Change of
              -----------------
Control of the Company (as hereinafter defined) (i) Executive is no longer Chief
Information Officer of the Company, or the surviving entity of such transaction
(without regard to any parent/subsidiary relationship) for any reason other than
expiration of the Term of this Agreement, (ii) Executive's duties or
responsibilities are substantially and materially diminished, or (iii)
Executive's current position in the chain of command of the Company or surviving
entity of such transactions (without regard to any parent/subsidiary
relationship) is materially diminished, Executive may be conclusively deemed, in
the sole discretion of Executive, to have been terminated without cause and
shall therefore be entitled to the benefits set forth in Sections 6(b)(ii)(B)
and 6(b)(ii)(C) hereof. Executive shall give the Board of Directors of the
Company or any surviving entity, written notice of his termination without cause
hereunder and exercise of his rights under Section 6(b) hereof.

          For purposes of this Agreement, "Change of Control" shall be deemed to
occur if any of the following have occurred:

              (i) any "person," as such term is currently used in Section 13(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes a "beneficial owner," as such
term is currently used in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under that Act of fifty percent
(50%) or more of the Voting Stock of the Company. For purposes of this
Agreement, Voting Stock shall mean the issued and outstanding capital stock or
other securities of any class or classes having general voting power under
ordinary circumstances, in the absence of contingencies, to elect the directors
of a corporation.

consists of individuals other than Incumbent Directors, which term means the
members of the Board on the date hereof; provided that any individual becoming a
director subsequent to such date whose election or nomination for election was
supported by two-thirds of the directors who then comprised the Incumbent
Directors shall be considered to be an Incumbent Director;

               (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company adopts any plan of
liquidation providing for the distribution of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets;

               (iv)  all or substantially all of the assets or business of the
Company are disposed of in any one or more transactions pursuant to a merger,
consolidation or other transaction (unless the shareholders of the Company
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other transaction
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in substantially the same proportion
as they owned the Voting Stock of the Company, all of the Voting Stock or other
ownership interests of the entity or entities, if any, that succeed to the
business of the Company); or

               (v)   the Company combines with another company and is the
surviving corporation but, immediately after the combination, the shareholders
of the Company immediately prior to the combination hold, directly or
indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or less of the Voting Stock of the combined
company, (there being excluded from the number of shares held by such
shareholders, but not from the Voting Stock of the combined company, any shares
