         Executive's compensation shall consist, in part, of an annual base
         salary of $132,000 before all customary payroll deductions (the "Base
         Salary"). The Base Salary shall be paid in substantially equal
         installments at the same interval as other officers of the Company are
         paid, or otherwise in conformance with the Company's standard payroll
         practices. The Board of Directors of the Company shall determine any
         increases in the Base Salary in future years.

         4.2      BONUS

         Executive may be entitled to receive, in addition to the Base Salary,
         an annual bonus (the "Bonus") in an amount to be determined pursuant to
         the Company's Management Bonus Plan, at appropriate level, as approved
         by the Board of Directors of the Company, in effect for each calendar
         year.

         Executive has been granted incentive stock options &/or nonqualified
         stock options to purchase 49,500 shares of common stock of the Company
         pursuant to the terms of the Company's Restated 1987 Stock Option Plan
         (the "1987 Option Plan") and 1996 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan
         (the "1996 Option Plan"). With reference to Section 7.1.3 of the
         Restated 1987 Stock Option Plan, the right of the Company to take any
         action to prevent, or limit in any way, acceleration of such options in
         the event of any Change in Control, as defined in the Option Plan, is
         hereby waived.

         in connection therewith. Executive shall present to the Company from
         time to time an itemized account of such expenses in such form as
         Company policies may require.

6.       TERMINATION.

         6.1      BY THE COMPANY

         With or without "Cause" (as defined in the 1996 Option Plan), the
         Company may terminate the employment of Executive at any time during
         the term upon giving Notice of Termination (as defined below).

         6.2      BY EXECUTIVE

         Executive may terminate his employment at any time for Good Reason (as
         defined below) or otherwise upon giving Notice of Termination.

         6.3      AUTOMATIC TERMINATION

         Employment shall terminate automatically upon death or total disability
         of Executive. The term "total disability" as used herein means an
         inability to perform the duties set forth in paragraph 1 of this
         Agreement because of illness or physical or mental disability for a
         period or periods aggregating 180 calendar days in any 12-month period,
         unless Executive is granted a leave of absence by the President or the
         Board of Directors of the Company. Executive and Company hereby
         acknowledge that Executive's ability to perform the duties specified in
         paragraph 1 hereof is of the essence of this Agreement. Termination
         hereunder shall be deemed to be effective immediately upon Executive's
         death or 30 days following a Notice of Termination based upon a
         determination by the Board of Directors of the Company of Executive's
         total disability as defined herein.

         6.4      NOTICE

         The term "Notice of Termination" means written notice of termination of
         Executive's employment. At the election of the Company, as set forth in
         its Notice of Termination or in a written response to Executive's
         Notice of Termination, Executive's employment and performance of
         services shall continue for a period of 30 days following the Notice of
         Termination. Otherwise Executive's employment shall terminate effective
         upon receipt of the Notice of Termination, unless otherwise agreed
         between the parties.

         6.5      GOOD REASON

         For the purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means, as a result of
         or following a "Corporate Transaction" of the Company (as defined in
         the 1996 Option Plan) or "Change of Control" of the Company (as defined
         in the 1987 Option Plan), a material alteration of Executive's position
         or duties, a reduction of Executive's Base Salary, or a requirement
         that Executive move more than 100 miles, provided that Executive gives
         Notice of Termination within 30 days of such change.

7.       SEVERANCE PAYMENTS.

In the event of termination of the employment of Executive, all compensation and
benefits set forth in this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of
termination, provided, however, that if the Company terminates Executive's
employment without Cause, or if Executive terminates his employment for Good
Reason, the Company shall be obligated to pay to Executive his then regular Base
Salary for a period of 6 months after the effective date of termination of
employment.

8.       AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE

As a condition of his employment hereunder, Executive has executed and delivered
to the Company an agreement addressing his obligation not to compete with the
business of the Company (the "Non-Compete Agreement") in accordance with
standard Company policy, which Non-Compete Agreement shall survive termination
of Executive's employment. During the term of this Agreement, and for 12 months
following termination of employment hereunder, Executive will not solicit or
otherwise recruit, directly or indirectly, any employees of the Company for
employment elsewhere.

9.       AGREEMENT NOT TO DISCLOSE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

As a condition of his employment hereunder, Executive has executed and delivered
to the Company an agreement addressing the nondisclosure of confidential
information and ownership of inventions (the "Non-Disclosure Agreement") in
accordance with standard Company policy, which Non-Disclosure Agreement shall
survive termination of Executive's employment.
