                                  3
                      COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

3.1 Base Compensation. The Company shall pay the Executive a base salary 
("Base Salary") of $200,000 per annum, subject to applicable withholdings. 
Base Salary shall be payable according to the customary payroll practices 
of the Company but in no event less frequently than once each month. The 
Base Salary shall be reviewed annually and shall be subject to increase or 
decrease according to the policies and practices adopted by the Board of 
Directors from time to time; provided, however, that in no event shall the 
Base Salary for any year be decreased by more than five percent (5%) from 
the immediately preceding year's Base Salary as a result of any such annual 
review.

3.2 Annual Incentive Awards. The Company will pay the Executive annual 
incentive compensation of up to 100% of his Base Salary, in accordance with 
policies and based on performance targets established annually by the 
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

3.3 Additional Benefits. The Executive will be entitled to participate in 
all employee benefit plans or programs and receive all benefits and 
perquisites to which any salaried employees are eligible under any existing 
or future plans or programs established by the Company for salaried 
employees. The Executive will participate to the extent permissible under 
the terms and provisions of such plans or programs in accordance with 
program provisions. These may include group hospitalization, health, dental 
care, life or other insurance, tax qualified pension, car allowance, 
savings, thrift and profit sharing plans, termination pay programs, sick 
leave plans, travel or accident insurance, disability insurance, and 
contingent compensation plans, including capital accumulation programs,

Nothing in this Agreement will preclude the Company from amending or 
terminating any of the plans or programs applicable to salaried employees 
or senior executives. The Executive will be entitled to an annual paid 
vacation as established by the Board of Directors.

3.4 Business Expenses. The Company will reimburse the Executive for all 
reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by the Executive in 
connection with the performance of his duties and obligations under this 
Employment Agreement.

                                  4
      DEATH BENEFIT; DISABILITY COMPENSATION; KEY MAN INSURANCE

4.1 Payment in Event of Death. In the event of the death of the Executive 
during the Term of this Employment Agreement, the Company's obligation to 
make payments under this Employment Agreement shall cease as of the date of 
death, except for earned but unpaid Base Salary and incentive compensation 
which will be paid on a pro-rated basis for that year. The Executive's 
designated beneficiary will be entitled to receive the proceeds of any life 
or other insurance or other death benefit programs provided or referred to 
in this Employment Agreement, other than "key man" life insurance benefits.

4.2 Disability Compensation. Notwithstanding the disability of the 
Executive, the Company will continue to pay the Executive pursuant to 
Section 3 hereof during the Term of this Employment Agreement, unless the 
Executive's employment is earlier terminated in accordance with this 
Employment Agreement. In the event the disability continues for a period of 
three (3) months, the Company may thereafter terminate this Employment 
Agreement and the Executive's employment. Following such termination, the 
Company will pay the Executive amounts equal to his regular installments of 
Base Salary, as of the time of termination, for a period of six (6) months. 
All other compensation will cease except for earned but unpaid incentive 
compensation awards which would be payable on a pro-rated basis for the 
year in which the disability occurred, through the date of termination.

4.3 Responsibilities in the Event of Disability. During the period the 
Executive is receiving payments following his disability and as long as he 
is physically and mentally able to do so, the Executive will furnish 
information and assistance to the Company and from time to time will make 
himself available to the Company to undertake assignments consistent with 
his position or prior position with the Company and his physical and mental 
health. If the Company fails to make a payment or provide a benefit 
required as part of this Employment Agreement, the Executive's obligation 
to provide information and assistance will end.

4.4 Definition of Disability. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, 
the term "disability" will have the same meaning as is attributed to such 
term, or any substantially similar term, in the Company's long term income 
disability plan as in effect from time to time.

4.5 Key-Man Life Insurance. Upon request by the Company, the Executive 
agrees to cooperate with the Company in obtaining "key man" life insurance 
on the life of the Executive, with death benefits payable to the Company. 
Such cooperation shall include the submission by the Executive to a medical 
examination and his response to inquiries regarding his medical history.

                                  5
                      TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Employment Agreement 
and the Executive's employment with the Company may be terminated by the 
Company at any time, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 5.

5.1 Termination Without Cause.

(a) Without a Change in Control. If the Executive suffers a Termination 
Without Cause (hereinafter defined) and a Change in Control (hereinafter 
defined) shall not have occurred within one (1) year prior thereto, the 
Company will continue to pay the Executive amounts equal to his Base 
Salary, as in effect at the time of the Termination Without Cause, for the 
remaining Term of this Employment Agreement; provided, however, if the 
Executive shall give the notice referred to in Section 6.3(c), the 
Executive shall not be entitled to any amounts for periods after the 
effective date of such notice. Earned but unpaid Base Salary through the 
date of termination will be paid in a lump sum at such time, and pro-rated 
incentive compensation, if any, for the year of termination, to the date of 
termination, will be paid to the Executive in accordance with the Company's 
customary practice for payment of incentive compensation. For six (6) 
months following such Termination Without Cause, the Company shall 
reimburse the Executive for the cost of the Executive's major medical 
health insurance as in effect at the date of termination; provided that 
reimbursement for the costs of such medical insurance shall cease upon the 
effective date of a notice given by the Executive pursuant to Section 
6.3(c). The exercisability of stock options granted to the Executive shall 
be governed by any applicable stock option agreements and the terms of the 
respective stock option plans.

(b) Upon a Change in Control. If the Executive suffers a Termination 
Without Cause within one (1) year following a Change in Control, the 
Company will pay to the Executive in a lump sum upon such termination an 
amount equal to the lesser of (i) 300% of the Executive's Base Salary as in 
effect at the time of the termination and (ii) the maximum amount which 
could be paid and not result in such amount or any other payment in the 
nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated 
thereunder ("Section 280G")) to or for the benefit of the Executive, or any 
part of such amount or other payment, constituting a "parachute payment" 
within the meaning of Section 280G. Earned but unpaid Base Salary through 
the date of termination will be paid in a lump sum at such time and pro 
rated incentive compensation, if any, for the year of termination, to the 
date of termination, will be paid to the Executive in accordance with the 
Company's customary practice for payment of incentive compensation.

5.2 Termination With Cause; Voluntary Termination. If the Executive suffers 
a Termination with Cause or the Executive terminates his employment with 
the Company (a "Voluntary Termination"), then, whether or not there has 
been a Change in Control, the Company will not be obligated to pay the 
Executive any amounts of compensation or benefits following the date of 
termination. However, earned but unpaid Base Salary through the date of 
termination will be paid in a lump sum at such time, and incentive 
compensation, if any, for the year during which such termination occurs 
will be pro rated for the portion of the year prior to the date of 
termination and paid in accordance with the Company's customary practice 
for payment of incentive compensation.

5.3 Definitions. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, the following 
terms have the following meanings:

(a) A "Change in Control" shall occur if an event or series of events 
occurs after the effective date of this Employment Agreement which would 
constitute either a change in ownership of the Company, within the meaning 
of Section 280G or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of 
the Company's assets, within the meaning of Section 280G, but for purposes 
of this definition, the fair market value threshold for determining 
"substantial portion of the Company's assets" shall be "greater than 50%;" 
provided that neither a distribution of shares of Company stock by Seafield 
Capital Corporation ("Seafield") to its shareholders nor a sale (including 
a sale by Seafield) of shares of Company stock in a public offering shall 
constitute a change in control for purposes of this Employment Agreement.

(b) "Termination With Cause" means termination of the Executive's 
employment by the Company, acting in good faith, by written notice to the 
Executive specifying the event relied upon for such termination, due to the 
Executive's conviction for a felony, the Executive's perpetration of a 
fraud, embezzlement or other act of dishonesty or the Executive's breach of 
a trust or fiduciary duty which materially adversely affects the Company or 
its shareholders.

(c) "Termination Without Cause" means termination of the Executive's 
employment by the Company other than due to the Executive's death or 
disability or Termination With Cause.

                                  6
                 OTHER DUTIES OF THE EXECUTIVE DURING
          AND AFTER THE TERM OF THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

6.1 Additional Information. The Executive will, upon reasonable notice, 
during or after the Term of this Employment Agreement, furnish information 
as may be in his possession and cooperate with the Company as may 
reasonably be requested in connection with any claims or legal actions in 
which the Company is or may become a party. The Executive shall receive 
reasonable compensation for the time expended by him pursuant to this 
Section 6.1.

6.2 Confidentiality. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that all 
information pertaining to the affairs, business, clients, customers or 
other relationships of the Company, as hereinafter defined, is confidential 
and is a unique and valuable asset of the Company. Access to and knowledge 
of this information are essential to the performance of the Executive's 
duties under this Employment Agreement. The Executive will not during the 
Term of this Employment Agreement or thereafter, except to the extent 
reasonably necessary in the performance of his duties under this Agreement, 
give to any person, firm, association, corporation or governmental agency 
any information concerning the affairs, business, clients, customers or 
other relationships of the Company except as required by law. The Executive 
will not make use of this type of information for his own purposes or for 
the benefit of any person or organization other than the Company. The 
Executive will also use his best efforts to prevent the disclosure of this 
information by others. All records, memoranda, etc. relating to the 
business of the Company whether made by the Executive or otherwise coming 
into his possession are confidential and will remain the property of the 
Company.

6.3 Noncompetition.

(a) During the Term of Employment. The Executive will not Compete with the 
Company (as defined in subsection (d) hereafter) at any time while he is 
employed by the Company or receiving payments from the Company.

(b) Voluntary Termination; Termination With Cause. In the event of a 
Voluntary Termination or a Termination With Cause, the Executive will not 
Compete with the Company for a period consisting of the longer of (i) the 
remaining Term of this Employment Agreement and (ii) one (1) year; provided 
that if a Voluntary Termination follows a notice by the Company under 
Section 2.1 that the Term of this Employment Agreement will not be 
automatically extended, there will be no restriction on the Executive's 
right to Compete with the Company after the date his employment terminates.

(c) Termination Without Cause. In the event of a Termination Without Cause, 
the Executive will not Compete with the Company for the then remaining Term 
of this Employment Agreement; provided that if such Termination Without 
Cause occurs within one (1) year after a Change in Control, there will be 
no restriction on the Executive's rights to Compete with the Company after 
the date his employment terminates and if the Executive gives written 
notice to the Company that the Executive will forego payment of all amounts 
otherwise due to him following the effective date of such notice as a 
result of a Termination Without Cause, there will be no restriction on the 
Executive's rights to Compete with the Company following such effective 
date.

(d) Definition of "Compete" with the Company. For the purposes of this 
Section 6, the term "Compete with the Company" means action by the 
Executive, direct or indirect, for his own account or for the account of 
others, either as an officer, director, stockholder, owner, partner, 
member, promoter, employee, consultant, advisor, agent, manager, creditor 
or in any other capacity, resulting in the Executive having any pecuniary 
interest, legal or equitable ownership, or other financial or non-financial 
interest in, or employment, association or affiliation with, any 
corporation, business trust, partnership, limited liability company, 
proprietorship or other business or professional enterprise that provides 
oncology services or management services to any oncology or hematology 
practice within a fifty mile radius of any location where the Company or 
any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company performs such services at the 
date of a termination of the Executive's employment or has performed such 
services within one year prior to such termination of employment; provided, 
however, that the term "Compete with the Company" shall not include 
ownership (without any more extensive relationship) of a less than a 5% 
interest in any publicly-held corporation or other business entity.

(e) Reasonableness of Scope and Duration; Remedies. The Executive 
acknowledges that the covenants contained herein are reasonable as to 
geographic and temporal scope. The Executive acknowledges that his breach 
or threatened or attempted breach of any provision of Section 6 would cause 
irreparable harm to the Company not compensable in monetary damages and 
that the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other applicable 
remedies, to a temporary and permanent injunction and a decree for specific 
performance of the terms of Section 6 without being required to prove 
damages or furnish any bond or other security.
