         The Executive shall use his best efforts to perform his duties and
         discharge his responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement competently,
         carefully and faithfully In determining whether or not the Executive
         has used his best efforts hereunder, the Executive's and the Company's
         delegation of authority and all surrounding circumstances shall be
         taken into account and the best efforts of the Executive shall not be

<PAGE>

                  (d) Adherence to Inside Information Policies. The Executive
         acknowledges that the Company currently intends to effect a public
         offering of its securities in the future and become publicly-held and,
         as a result, has implemented or will implement inside information
         policies designed to preclude its executives and those of its
         subsidiaries from violating the federal securities laws by trading on
         material, non-public information or passing such information on to
         others in breach of any duty owed to the Company its parent or any
         third party. The Executive shall promptly execute any agreements
         generally distributed by the Company or the parent to its executives
         requiring such executives to abide by its inside information policies.

         4. Compensation and Expenses.


                  (a) Salary. For the services of the Executive to be rendered
         under this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Executive an annual
         salary of $120,000 (the "Base Salary"). The Base Salary shall be
         increased each year by an amount equal to the greater of (i) 3% in
         excess of the prior year's Base Salary, or (ii) the cost of living
         increase based upon the Consumer Price Index calculated upon the
         commencement of each year of the Agreement using the prior month as the
         measuring month published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (or similar
         successor index). The Consumer Price Index increase calculation shall
         be calculated as follows:

                      Commencing with the one year anniversary of the
                      commencement of the term and the beginning of each year
                      thereafter during the term of this Agreement, the
                      Executive's annual salary shall be adjusted in accordance
                      with the Consumer Price Index, all Urban Consumers issued
                      by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department
                      of Labor using the years 1982-84 as a base of 100 (the
                      "Index"). At the commencement of the second year, and of
                      each year thereafter, the Executive's adjusted Base Salary
                      shall be multiplied each year by a fraction, the numerator
                      of which shall be the published Index number for the month
                      preceding the commencement of the new year, i.e., August
                      2000, and the denominator of which shall be the published
                      Index number for the month of July 1999. The resulting
                      increase to the Executive's Base Salary shall be added to
                      the prior year's Base Salary and become a part thereof for
                      the current year. In the event that the Index herein
                      referred to ceases to be published during the term of this
                      Agreement, or if a substantial change is made in the
                      method of establishing such index, then the determination
                      of the adjustment in the Executive's compensation shall be
                      made with the use of such conversion factor, formula or
                      table as may be published by the Bureau of Labor
                      Statistics, or if none is available, the parties shall
                      accept comparable statistics on the cost of living in the
                      United States as shall then be computed and published by
                      an agency of the United States, or if not by a respected
                      financial periodical selected by the Company.

                  (b) Incentive Bonus. If the Company's net pre tax income for
         fiscal 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, or 2003, is at least $1,000,000,
         $1,500,000, $2,000,000,

<PAGE>

         $2,500,000, and $3,000,000 respectively (as applicable), the Company
         shall pay a bonus to the Executive of 3% of such net pre tax income. In
         no event shall the total bonus paid to the Executive exceed 100% of his
         base salary for such fiscal year. In determining the Company's annual
         net pre tax income, there shall be excluded therefrom any extraordinary
         income or expenses as defined by generally accepted accounting
         principles. The bonus shall be paid within five days after the Company
         has received audited financial statements for the appropriate year.

                  (c) Discretionary Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible to
         receive an annual bonus in an amount to be determined by the
         Compensation Committee based on any criteria or factors the
         Compensation Committee deems appropriate.

                  (d) Stock Options. The Executive shall receive 50,000
         incentive stock options to purchase the Company's common stock pursuant
         to a separate stock option agreement under the Company's 1999 Stock
         Option Plan.

                  (e) Expenses. In addition to any compensation received
         pursuant to Section 4(a) and (b), the Company will reimburse or advance
         funds to the Executive for all reasonable travel, entertainment and
         miscellaneous expenses incurred in connection with the performance of
         his duties under this Agreement, provided that the Executive properly
         provides a written accounting of such expenses to the Company in
         accordance with the Company's practices. Such reimbursement or advances
         will be made in accordance with policies and procedures of the Company
         in effect from time to time relating to reimbursement of or advances to
         Executive officers.

         5. Benefits.

                  (a) Vacation and Sick Leave. For each 12-month period during
         the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to four weeks of vacation
         without loss of compensation or other benefits to which he is entitled
         under this Agreement, to be taken at such times as the Executive may
         select and the affairs of the Company may permit. The Executive shall
         be entitled to sick leave each year.

                  (b) Company Stock Option Plan. The Executive shall be entitled
         to participate in the Company's Stock Option Plan.

                  (c) Insurance. The Company shall provide to Executive a
         $1,000,000 life insurance policy. The Company shall pay the premiums on
         the policy and assign the benefits of the policy to those person(s) or
         entity(ies) the Executive directs as beneficiary(ies). The Company
         shall also pay premiums on the Company's medical insurance policy
         covering Executive and pay the premiums or reimburse the Executive for
         disability insurance covering the Executive's disability which

         consecutive days or 90 aggregate days in any 12-month period, the
         Executive is incapable of substantially fulfilling the duties set forth

         resulting from injury, sickness or disease. For purposes of this

         shall terminate.

                  (b) Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate the
         Executive's employment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at any
         time for Cause (as defined below) by giving written notice of

         such notice. Upon any such termination for Cause, the Executive shall
         have no right to compensation, or reimbursement under Section 4, or to
         participate in any Executive benefit programs under Section 5, except

         Company, may elect to deem the Executive's employment hereunder to have
         been terminated by the Company without cause, in which event the
         Executive shall be entitled at the time of termination to compensation
         equal to an amount of three years Base Salary under this Agreement and

         business, one of which is the same or similar to the Company's business
         (the "Prohibited Business") if Executive's employment is totally
         unrelated to the Prohibited Business; provided, further, the foregoing
         shall not prohibit Executive from owning up to 5% of the securities of

         for his own benefit or the benefit of any person or entity with which
         he may be associated or disclose any such Confidential Information to
         any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any
         reason or purpose whatsoever without the prior written consent of an
         Executive officer of the Company (excluding the Executive, if
         applicable).

                  (a) The Company and the Executive recognize that the services
         to be rendered under this Agreement by the Executive are special,
         unique and of extraordinary character, and that in the event of the
         breach by the Executive of the terms and conditions of this Agreement
         or if the Executive, without the prior consent of the board of
         directors of the Company, shall leave his employment for any reason and
         take any action in violation of Section 7 or Section 8, the Company

         any and all future action necessary to submit to the jurisdiction of
         such courts. The Executive and the Company irrevocably waive any
         objection that they now have or hereafter irrevocably waive any
         objection that they now have or hereafter may have to the laying of
         venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and

         conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
         judgment, a certified or true copy of which shall be conclusive
         evidence of the fact and the amount of any liability of the Executive
         or the Company therein described, or by appropriate proceedings under
         any applicable treaty or otherwise.

         (b)      realize a personal gain or advantage from a transaction in
                  which the Company has an interest or use information obtained
                  in connection with the Executive's employment with the Company
                  for the Executive's personal advantage or gain; or

         (c)      accept any offer to serve as an officer, director, partner,
                  consultant, manager with, or to be employed in a technical

                  Company.

         11. Inventions, Ideas, Processes, and Designs. All inventions, ideas,
processes, programs, software, and designs (including all improvements) (i)
conceived or made by the Executive during the course of his employment with the
Company (whether or not actually conceived during regular business hours) and
for a period of six months subsequent to the termination or expiration of such
employment with the Company and (ii) related to the business of the Company,
shall be disclosed in writing promptly to the Company and shall be the sole and
exclusive property of the Company. An invention, idea, process, program,
software, or design including an improvement) shall be deemed related to the
business of the Company if (a) it was made with the Company's equipment,
supplies, facilities, or Confidential Information, (b) results from work
performed by the Executive for the Company, or (c) pertains to the current
business or demonstrably anticipated research or development work of the
Company. The Executive shall cooperate with the Company and its attorneys in the
preparation of patent and copyright applications for such developments and, upon
request, shall promptly assign all such inventions, ideas, processes, and
designs to the Company. The decision to file for patent or copyright protection
or to maintain such development as a trade secret shall be in the sole
discretion of the Company, and the Executive shall be bound by such decision.
The Executive shall provide as a schedule to this Employment Agreement, a
complete list of all inventions, ideas, processes, and designs, if any, patented
or unpatented, copyrighted or non-copyrighted, including a brief description,
which he made or conceived prior to his employment with the Company and which
therefore are excluded from the scope of this Agreement.

reason, the Company may, if

<PAGE>

it so elects, set off any sum due to the Company from the Executive and collect
any remaining balance from the Executive unless the Executive has entered into a
written agreement with the Company.

         13. Assignability. The rights and obligations of the Company under this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of the Company, provided that such successor or assign shall acquire all
or substantially all of the securities or assets and business of the Company.
The Executive's obligations hereunder may not be assigned or alienated and any
attempt to do so by the Executive will be void.

         14. Severability.

                  (a) The Executive expressly agrees that the character,
         duration and geographical scope of the non-competition provisions set
         forth in this Agreement are reasonable in light of the circumstances as
         they exist on the date hereof. Should a decision, however, be made at a
         later date by a court of competent jurisdiction that the character,
         duration or geographical scope of such provisions is unreasonable, then
         it is the intention and the agreement of the Executive and the Company
         that this Agreement shall be construed by the court in such a manner as
         to impose only those restrictions on the Executive's conduct that are
         reasonable in the light of the circumstances and as are necessary to
         assure to the Company the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any
         judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the
         separate covenants deemed included herein because taken together they
         are more extensive than necessary to assure to the Company the intended
         benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by
         the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement that, if
         eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be
         enforced in such proceeding shall be deemed eliminated, for the
         purposes of such proceeding, from this Agreement.

                  (b) If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to
         be invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state
         or jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be
         considered divisible as to such provision and such provision shall be
         inoperative in such state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the
         consideration moving from either of the parties to the other. The
         remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and binding and
         of like effect as though such provision were not included.

         15. Notices and Addresses. All notices, offers, acceptance and any
other acts under this Agreement (except payment) shall be in writing, and shall
be sufficiently given if delivered to the addressees in person, by Federal
Express or similar receipted delivery, by facsimile delivery or, if mailed,
