                                       2
<PAGE>

          (a)  Salary. For the services of the Executive to be rendered under
               ------
this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Executive an annual salary of $175,000
(the "Base Salary") retroactive to January 1, 2001. 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., March
                      2002, and the denominator of which shall be the published
                      Index number for the month of February 2001. 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)  Discretionary Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible to receive
               -------------------

based on any criteria or factors the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.

the Company may, if 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
          ---------------------
