                                TERMS AND DUTIES

January  1,2001,  and  shall continue through December 31,2003 ("Initial Term"),

                                     ------
                                   SECTION IV
                             COMPENSATION: BENEFITS
                             ----------------------

     For  all  services  rendered  by  the  Executive in any capacity during the
Period  of  Employrnent,  the  Executive  shall  be  compensated  as  follows:

     A.     Base  Salary.   The  Company  shall pay the Executive an annual base
            -------------
salary  ("Base  Salary")  in  the  amount of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($450,000).  The 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 each fiscal period and shall be subject to
increase  according  to  the  policies and practices adopted by the Company from
time  to  time.

     B.     Annual  Incentive  Award.   1.  The  Company  will  pay  an  annual
            -------------------------
incentive  compensation  award  or  bonus  ("Annual  Incentive  Award")  to  the
Executive  consistent  with  the  Company's  EPS Compensation Program for Senior
Executives or such other bonus plan (providing benefits substantially similar to
bonus  plans for other Senior Executives) as may be adopted from time to time by
the  Company.  Executive may elect to draw, in advance, a portion of this Annual
Incentive  Award,  agreed  upon  by  the Company through the course of Company's
fiscal  year.  Should such advance draw exceed the amount actually due Executive
for  the relevant period covered by this Agreement, Executive agrees to promptly
repay  the  overdraw  upon  notification  by  the  Company.

     2.     It is Company's policy that Annual Incentive Awards will not be paid
to  an  executive  during  a job change transition period, if any. Therefore, in
reference  to  Executive's position, if Executive is leaving his position and is
to  continue  working for the Company in a similar position or is promoted, then
Executive  will continue to be paid the Annual Incentive Award until he has left
his  current  position,  and  any  incoming  executive will not begin to earn an
Annual  Incentive Award until the date of Executive's departure. If Executive is
leaving  his  position  due  to  resignation,  retirement  or  removal, then the
incoming  executive will be eligible to earn the Annual Incentive Award from the
time  he  or  she  commences  work  and  Executive  will  not be paid any Annual
Incentive  Award  attributable  to  the  transition  period.

     C.     Additional  Benefits.  The Executive will be entitled to participate
            ---------------------
in  all  employee  benefit  plans  or  programs  and  receive  all  benefits and
perquisites  for  which  senior executives of the Company are eligible under any
existing  or  future  plan  or  program  established  by  the Company for senior
executives.  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,  among  others, group hospitalization, health,
dental  care,  vision,  life  or  other insurance and profit sharing plans, sick
leave  plans, travel or accident insurance, disability insurance, stock purchase
programs  and  stock  option  plans. Nothing in this Agreement will preclude the
Company  from amending or terminating any of the plans or programs applicable to
salaried  or  senior  executives  as  long  as  such amendment or termination is
applicable to all salaried employees or senior executives. The Executive will be
entitled  to an annual paid vacation as established by the Board of Directors of
the  Company.
                                    SECTION V
                                    BUSINESS
                                    --------

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

                                   SECTION VI
                                   DISABILITY
                                   ----------

     A.     In  the  event  the  Executive becomes disabled during the Period of
Employment  to  an  extent  which  entitles  him to benefits under the Company's
long-term  disability  benefit  plan  applicable  to  senior  executive officers
generally  as  in  effect  on  the  date  hereof,  Executive's  employment shall
tern1inate  automatically  and  Executive  shall  be entitled to receive amounts
payable  pursuant  to  the  terms  of a long-term disability insurance policy or
similar arrangement which the Company maintains during the Period of Employment.
In  this  case, normal compensation will cease except for earned but unpaid Base
Salary  and  Annual  Incentive Awards which would be payable on a prorated basis
for  the  year  in  which  the  disability  occurred.

     B.     During  the  period  the  Executive  is receiving payments of either
regular  compensation or disability insurance described in this Agreement 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
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 the
Agreement, the Executive's obligation to fulfill information and assistance will
end.

     C.     The  term  "disability"  will  have  the  same  meaning as under any
long-term disability insurance provided pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

                                   SECTION VII

                                      -----

In  the event of the death of the Executive during the Period of Employment, the
Company's obligation to make Base Salary and bonus payments under this Agreement
shall  cease  as  of the date of death, except for earned but unpaid Base Salary
and Annual Incentive Award which will be paid on a prorated basis for that year.

                                  SECTION VIII
                       EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
                       -----------------------------------

A.  If  the  Executive's  employment  terminates  due  to either a Without Cause
Termination or a Constructive Discharge (as such terms are defined later in this
Agreement),  the  Company  shall  continue  to  pay  to  the Executive upon such
termination  for 24 months, the sum of (i) his monthly Base Salary, plus (ii) an
amount  equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Annual Incentive Award that Executive
received  during  the  Company's  immediately  preceding fiscal year. Earned but
unpaid  Base  Salary  and  unreimbursed expenses through the date of termination
will  also  be  paid  in  a  lump  sum at such time and earned but unpaid Annual
Incentive  Award  through  the date of termination shall be paid at the time the
Company  pays  such  awards  to  its  executive  officers.

     B.     If  the  Executive's  employment terminates due to a Termination for
Cause  any  earned  but unpaid Base Salary and unreimbursed expenses through the
date  of termination will be paid in a lump sum to Executive.  No other payments
will  be  made  by  the  Company.

C.     If  the  Executive's  employment terminates due to disability (subject to
Section  VI  above)  or voluntary termination by Executive (but not Constructive
Discharge)  any  earned but unpaid Base Salary and unreimbursed expenses through
the  date  of termination will be paid in a lump sum to Executive and earned but
unpaid  Annual  Incentive Award through the date of termination shall be paid at
the  time  the  Company  pays  such  awards  to its executive officers. No other
payments  will  be  made  by  the  Company.

     D.     Upon  termination  of  the  Executive's  employment,  the  Period of
Employment  will  cease as of the date of the termination and all benefits other
than  as  specifically  provided  herein,  shall  terminate  on  such  date.

E.  For  this  Agreement,  the  following  terms  have  the  following meanings:

     1.     "Termination  for  Cause"  means  termination  of  the  Executive's
employment  by  the  Company,  acting  in  good  faith, by written notice to the
Executive  specifying  the  events  relied  upon, as a result of (a) Executive's
willful dishonesty, fraud, or misconduct with respect to the business or affairs
of  the  Company  which  is  directly  harmful  to  the  Company, (b) Employee's
conviction  of  a  felony  or  other  crime  involving  moral turpitude or (c) a
violation  by  Executive  of  the  covenants  set  forth  in  Section IX of this
Agreement.  The  Company  must  provide  such  notice  thirty (30) days prior to
termination.  For purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on the
Executive's  part  will  be  considered  "willful" unless done, or omitted to be
done,  by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the
Executive's  action  or  omission  was  in  the  best  interest  of the Company.

     2.     "Constructive  Discharge"  means  termination  of  the  Executive's
employment  by  the  Executive  due  to  a failure of the Company to fulfill its
obligations  under  this  Agreement  in  any material respect, including without
limitation  (i)  any  reduction  of  the  Executive's  Base  Salary  other  than
reductions  not  to  exceed  fifteen  percent  (15%) applicable to all executive
officers  of the Company or (ii) the reduction in the title and/or duties of the
Executive.  The  Executive  will  provide  the  Company  a  written notice which
describes  the circumstances being relied on for the termination with respect to
the Agreement within thirty (30) days after the event giving rise to the notice.
The  Company  will  have  thirty  (30) days to remedy the situation prior to the
termination  for  Constructive  Discharge.

     3.     "Without  Cause  Termination"  means  termination of the Executive's
employment  by  the Company other than due to death, disability, Termination for
Cause,  Constructive  Discharge,  termination  under  Section  XI, or failure of
Company  to  renew  this  Agreement  under  Section  IlIA.
