                                                                  EXHIBIT 10 (m)

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT



This Agreement effective this 15th day of May, 2001 between Mobility Concepts,
Inc. ("Company") and William D. Kelly ("Employee").

         WITNESSETH

Whereas, the Company desires to employ Employee as an executive officer of the
Company and he is willing to accept such employment and thereafter to perform
the services hereafter described, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth.

Now, therefore, it is agreed between the Company and Employee that:

         1.       Employment. The Company hereby employs Employee as Chief
                  Financial Officer for the period beginning on the date that he
                  reports to work at the Company's office in Naperville and
                  ending on December 31, 2002. This agreement shall be extended
                  for an additional year from that date each year unless either
                  party gives the other at least 30 days written notice of
                  termination.

         2.       Duties. During the period that Employee shall be an employee
                  of the Company as Chief Financial Officer, he shall have and
                  exercise such duties, powers, and authority as may be assigned
                  to him by the Chief Executive Officer. He shall report and be
                  responsible to the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the
                  Board, and the Chief Executive Officer. Employee agrees to
                  perform the duties enumerated in this paragraph and to serve
                  as an employee from the date of the commencement of his
                  employment.

         3.       Compensation.

                  (a)      Base Salary. Employee's base salary shall initially
                           be $110,000.00 annually and shall be reviewed and
                           adjusted (upward only) from time to time by Company
                           in accordance with its salary and wage policies (the
                           "Base Salary"). In no event shall the Base Salary be
                           adjusted upward in an amount less than the current
                           year's CPI, multiplied by the Base Salary for the
                           immediately preceding year. Company shall pay
                           Employee his Base Salary in accordance with Company's
                           regular payroll practices, but not less frequently
                           than monthly.

                  (b)      Bonus. During the first year (12 months) of
                           employment, Employee shall receive a bonus of
                           $40,000.00, to be paid in four equal quarterly
                           increments. In subsequent years Employee shall
                           receive a discretionary annual bonus based upon the
                           performance of Company, to be awarded at the sole
                           discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company.
                           Employee shall also participate in any incentive or
                           bonus plans established by the Company for the
                           officers and employees thereof in accordance with the
                           terms of those plans.

                  (c)      Employee Benefits. During the Term, Employee and
                           Employee's family and dependents shall be entitled to
                           all such employment benefits as may, from time to
                           time, be made generally available to Company's senior
                           managers and their families and dependents, including
                           without limitation, retirement plans, medical health,
                           dental and other similar insurance, and vacation;
                           provided, however, that such benefits and
                           arrangements are made available to such senior
                           managers in the Company's sole discretion and are
                           subject to Employee's and Employee's family's
                           qualification for



<PAGE>

                           benefits under each such plan. Nothing in this
                           Agreement establishes any right of Employee or
                           Employee's family to the availability or continuance
                           of any such plan or arrangement, each of which may be
                           terminated, altered, amended or modified at any time
                           on a non-discriminatory basis, in Company's sole
                           discretion. In addition to those employment benefits
                           generally available to Company's executives, Company
                           shall provide, or reimburse Employee for (i)
                           long-term disability insurance equivalent to 70% of
                           Employee's annual compensation, and (ii) a car
                           allowance equal to $600 per month.

                  (d)      Waiver of Waiting Periods. The Company will waive any
                           waiting period for participation in the 401(k)
                           Savings and Retirement Plan and the health insurance
                           plan.

                  (e)      Business Related Expenses. Upon presentation of
                           vouchers and similar receipts, Employee shall be
                           entitled to receive prompt reimbursement in
                           accordance with the policies and procedures of
                           Company maintained from time to time for all
                           reasonable business expenses actually incurred in the
                           performance of his duties hereunder.

                  (f)      Vacation. Employee shall be entitled to three (3)
                           weeks paid vacation for each fiscal year (prorated
                           for any partial year) during the duration of the
                           Agreement at times selected by Employee. Earned
                           vacation will increase at a rate of one day per year
                           of service, with a maximum annual vacation allotment
                           of four (4) weeks paid vacation.

                  (g)      Additional Term Life Insurance. The Company will,
                           during the term of this Agreement, maintain at its
                           expense, term insurance upon the life of Employee in
                           the face amount of $500,000, payable to such
                           beneficiary as Employee shall designate from time to
                           time in writing to the Company and, in the absence of
                           such designation, to his estate. Such insurance shall
                           be in addition to such group term insurance as the
                           Company maintains for the benefit of salaried
                           employees generally of the rank and status of
                           Employee.

4.       Termination. Employee's employment with Company may be terminated only
         under the circumstances described in Sections 4(a) through 4(g):

                  (a) Death. Employee's employment hereunder will automatically
                  terminate upon his death.

                  (b) Disability. If Employee is Disabled for any continuous one
                  hundred eighty (180) days during any twelve (12) continuous
                  month period, Company may terminate Employee's employment with
                  Company. For purposes of the Agreement, Employee shall be
                  deemed to be "Disabled" if he has a physical or mental
                  disability that renders him incapable, after reasonable
                  accommodation, of performing his duties under this Agreement.
                  In the event of a dispute as to whether Employee is Disabled,
                  Company may refer the same to a licensed practicing physician
                  mutually agreed to by Employee and Company, and Employee
                  agrees to submit to such reasonable tests and examination as
                  such physician shall deem appropriate. The determination of
                  said licensed practicing physician shall be determinative.

                  (c) Cause. Company may terminate Employee's employment
                  hereunder at any time for Cause. For purposes of this
                  Agreement, the term "Cause" shall mean: (i) the perpetration
                  by Employee of a fraud or crime against Company, or any
                  affiliate thereof including any entity controlled by or under
                  common control with Company (collectively, the "Company"), or
                  (ii) Employee's conviction of a crime involving moral
                  turpitude.

                  (d) Termination by Company for Good Reason. Company may
                  terminate Employee's employment hereunder at any time after
                  the expiration of the first Term of the Agreement for Good
                  Reason. For purposes hereof, "Good Reason" means:



<PAGE>

                  (i)      the material failure by Employee to perform his
                           duties hereunder (other than any such failure
                           resulting from Employee's illness or incapacity) that
                           is not cured within thirty (30) days after Employee's
                           receipt of a Notice of Termination relating to such
                           failure; or

                  (ii)     insubordination, disloyalty to the Company or
                           disparagement of the Company by Employee which, in
                           any such case(s), individually or collectively,
                           materially and adversely affects the business or
                           reputation of the Company, and that is not cured
                           within thirty (30) day after Employee's receipt of a
                           Notice of Termination relating to such failure

         (e)      Termination by Employee Not for Good Reason. Employee may
                  terminate his employment hereunder at any time for any reason
                  by giving Company prior written Notice of Termination, which
                  Notice of Termination shall be effective not less than thirty
                  (30) days after it is given to Company, provided that nothing
                  in this Agreement shall require Employee to specify a reason
                  for any such termination.

         (f)      Mutual Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time
                  by the mutual agreement of the parties. Any termination of
                  Employee's employment by mutual agreement of the parties must
                  be set forth in a written agreement signed by Employee and a
                  member of the Board of Directors of Company.

         (g)      Notice of Termination. Any termination of Employee's
                  employment by Company or Employee (other than a termination
                  pursuant to mutual agreement or death) must be communicated by
                  a written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For
                  purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a
                  dated notice which indicates the specific termination
                  provision in this Agreement relied on and which sets forth in
                  reasonable detail the facts and circumstances, if any, claimed
                  to provide a basis for termination of Employee's employment
                  under the provision so indicated.

         (h)      Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" means the last day
                  Employee is employed by Company, provided that Employee's
                  employment is terminated in accordance with the foregoing
                  provisions of this Section 4.

5.       Rights Upon Termination.

         (a)      In the event of Employee's termination pursuant to Section
                  4(b), 4(c), 4(d), 4(f) or 4(g), Employee shall be entitled to
                  a lump sum payment (payable no later than fourteen (14) days
                  after the Date of Termination) for any unused vacation days
                  and any other accrued benefits to which Employee is entitled,
                  as determined in accordance with Company policy as in effect
                  from time to time. In addition, with the exception of
                  termination pursuant to Section 4(e), Employee shall be
                  entitled to continued participation and coverage in the
                  Company's benefit programs as defined in Sections 3(c) and
                  (g), including medical health, dental, short-term and
                  long-term disability and other similar insurance, for a period
                  of one (1) year.

         (b)      In the event of Employee's termination pursuant Section 4(b),

                  continuation, paid in accordance with Company's regular
                  payroll practices, but not less frequently than monthly, (ii)
                  to receive payment of a pro-rated bonus through the term of
                  the Severance Period, (iii) outplacement services equivalent
                  to one month's salary, (iv) continuation of the automobile
                  allowance then in effect, (v) continued participation in the

         Employee shall not directly or indirectly, alone or as a member of a
         partnership, or as an officer, director, or shareholder of a
         corporation, be engaged in or concerned with any other commercial

         Company.

7.       Confidentiality. At all times, both before and after termination of his
         employment, Employee shall keep and retain in confidence and shall not
         disclose to any persons, firm, or corporation (except with the written
         consent of the Company first obtained) any of the proprietary,
         confidential, or secret information or trade secrets of the Company.

8.       Reorganization. If the Company shall at any time be merged or
         consolidated into or with any other corporation or entity, the
         provisions of this agreement shall survive any such transaction and
         shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the corporation
         resulting from such merger or consolidation or the corporation to which
         such assets will be transferred (and this provision shall apply in the

         Company, upon the occasion of any of the above-described transactions,
         shall include in the appropriate agreements the obligation that the
         payments herein agreed to be paid to or for the benefit of Employee,

         pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including an action by
         the Company), whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
         investigative, and whether formal or informal, by reason of (or, in the
         case of an action by the Company, to procure a judgment in the
         Company's favor by reason of) the fact that Employee is or was a
         director, officer, employee, executive or agent of the Company, or, is
         or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
         partner, trustee, executive, employee or agent of another foreign or
         domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other

         including attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines (criminal or
         civil) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
         by Employee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the

         of Incorporation of the Company. Expenses incurred by Employee in
         defending any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding shall be
         paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of any such
         action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
         behalf of Employee to repay such amount, in the event it is ultimately
         determined that Employee is not entitled to be indemnified by the
         Company in accordance with this Agreement.

10.      Arbitration. In the event of any difference of opinion or dispute
         between Employee and the Company with respect to the construction or
         interpretation of this agreement or the alleged breach thereof which
         cannot be settled amicably by agreement of the parties, then such
         dispute shall be submitted to and determined by arbitration by a single
         arbitrator in Naperville, Illinois, in accordance with the rules, then
         obtaining, of the AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, and judgment upon
         the award rendered shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the
         parties and may be entered in the highest court, state or federal,
         having jurisdiction.

11.      Severability. In the event that any provisions of this Agreement are
         found or held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions
         of the Agreement shall nevertheless continue to be valid and
